How really fast is a S52 or M50 E30...

show me videos.

Buy me a plane ticket then.:)

you only gain 1 second for every ten pounds removed... right?

So if you nail 0-60 in 8 seconds just knock off 90 pounds and you'll be there before you think about nailing the accelerator

[etxxz]

i never though about it that way. wow. you just invented light travel.. no time travel!!

[MR E30 325is]

My M50 E30 is super slowzzz

I am investigating switching over to an S50 at this time. I need more power, and more speed. My E30 is no puss

Im gonnda do the m50 swap in the future, anything > m42

the turbo 2002 should be fun though :D

I pull 1-2 cars on an e46 m3 from just about any speed. At higher speeds they're pretty close, with me on top for sure.

BTW learn proper grammar!

We know our cars are faster than those.

I've got an NA S52, 247whp. ~2540lbs no driver. I'll walk E46 M3s and Z4 M coupes. Walked a 997 pretty bad too. Barely pulled on an e92 M3 on a relatively low speed pull.

How did you get that much whp?

Depends...I'd love a 318is LTW, no AC, it would be too much fun in the twisties!

Wow, pictures / dyno? No CAMS?

[Mr Two]

I have a thread posted up in this section with my dyno sheet and a vid

Mine has no AC/No sunroof.

When I swap in the M50, Ill trash all the extra AC stuff, not just the compressor, add a carbon fiber hood, and I think the weight difference should be really negligable. so I could rep the m50 318 wihtout the weight gain.
