Re: looking for bmw specs

Hey all. I was wondering if there was a site that gave the performance specs of all e30 bmws?

Here is information i've compiled from text and charts published in various Road & Track articles over the years.....

c.d. - .033
C/R - 10.5:1

Edit: I just found my saved E30 M3 info and added it above.

No info on the early M10 318i, nor the 88 325 "Super ETA", or 325iX, or 325iC, or 318iC.. I'd presume the specs for the 91 318i M42 would be pretty much the same as on the 91 318is, or very close to it. I'm pretty sure the 318iC would be the slowest E30 model :D

Move this to the FAQ thread and sticky it.

[DSchultz325e]

Move this to the FAQ thread and sticky it.

Or just have Jordan add it to the pre-existing charts.
