E30 S50 vs. Z4 MCoupe

[Mike B.]

I had no problem pulling E36 M3's on the track with my M50/E36 Getrag/3.46 diff combo.

My car is faster than e36 M3s, and it's just a mostly stock 2.5l.

Are you sure? I feel like my car isn't that much faster then stock.

^^ in any car. Period. but, if your car's healthy there's no reason why the e30 shouln't go over 140...160...200 (wishful thinking)

let me ask you something. what RPMs do you get at 60 80 110mph and what does your first gear go up to? i wanna know this before i ship out my already sold 3.73lds tx man

I would say 160 max.

1st gear max speed-about 30

60- 3200rpm
80- 4200rpm
110- 5800rpm

Sorry for the gay line. You probably just read it in a gay way, lol.


You guys are right about the SMG, I don't know why I thought that and just remembered myself hearing they don't come with them.

Old vid but see what an S50 can do for you!!! I almost have an identical set-up minus the 24# injectors - car hauls ass!!! Raced an E46 M3 because he put his blinkers on as a sign of race and he could not get away!!! He did not look at me when I passed him - I wanted to wave but he was snobbish!

good run. I don't really do that stuff on the street anymore but at the track my s50 e30 pulled on a Z4 MCoupe. The driver came up to me afterwards and said I pulled him down every straight, it was pretty cool. My POS franken-e30 pulling with a 330hp modern coupe. It was one of the best compliments my car has ever gotten :)
