True for standards, but not for automatics where you can't drop the clutch. There, a rolling start actually helps.
You won't get a rolling start on the drag strip.

For a tuned car? I'd guess it's about what an untuned Evo or WRX with Chris Farley as a passenger would get.
Don't get me wrong, the 28i is a great car, and sporty too, for being a crossover. With some mods, the X1 could quite possibly even be a good rally car, unlike most BMWs. But on the strip, you need to mod it to race against unmoddeds, and that's just not fair to the 28i.
