      hmm... i dont think they are so coveted, or are they ?

      i mean the gear ratio is 2.56 so with the standard 260 gearbox and 7500rpm the car will do around 400kph

      now with the zf at 7500 and 18" inch wheels it does 344.



      7500rpm
      1 67,70 km/t
      2 123,06 km/t
      3 195,78 km/t
      4 275,66 km/t
      5 344,57 km/t


      this is with the 260 gearbox


      7500rpm
      1 89,97 km/t
      2 156,62 km/t
      3 245,95 km/t
      4 344,57 km/t
      5 425,40 km/t

          Out of curiosity, how does one "daily drive" and 646+whp e30?

                            I see and what spring rates? I'm kind of amazed that an e30 can haul so much ass TBH I always thought the semi-trailing arms wouldn't let you put the hammer down hard enough.
