I am buying an eta - picking it up this weekend. They still suck.Current Cars2014 M235i2009 R56 Cooper S1998 M31997 M3 -
Try going from an M30 to an eta
an 80hp drop is noticable. At least the thing handels good now, just dosn't have that torque to pull it threw corners.

Come on, you know its true!!!!!!!!Originally posted by Eurospeed88
At least I also have an I to kick around. And with the suspension work finally done, it is boat loads of fun!!!!!Current Cars2014 M235i2009 R56 Cooper S1998 M31997 M3Comment

They may have less horsepower, but with a JimC chip riding on-board and an LSD, the car is a kick to drive. No denying that.Originally posted by DaveCNComment

Agreed. My first car was an 87 325e. No chip, but it had LSD. It was fun :) Early torque yay!

Putting a chip and LSD in a eta is like putting a fat chick in a tight, short dress.
Sure, it'd make a fine chick even hotter, but doesn't do that much overall for the big girl.Comment

The soon to be mine eta - has the chip and LSD.Originally posted by Eurospeed88Current Cars2014 M235i2009 R56 Cooper S1998 M31997 M3Comment

The nice thing about my eta is it only has 50k on the engine 8) The thing runs so smooth and has tons of compression. I could barely turn it over by hand when doing the T-belt. I have to replace the diff and so wish I had the money to toss a LSD in there but don't. I should toss my open 3.73 instead of the 2.92 I've got planned to go in. I'm sure that would be fun :twisted:85 325e 2.7 ITB'd stroker

That almost might have made sense, had we been comparing an E30 325i to a Hummer H2.Originally posted by rwh11385
But since we're comparing 2 cars of identical size and weight, with the only difference being a realistic power difference of about 45hp (reduce that to a difference of about 25 and add drastically more torque with the chip) it doesn't really apply.
But eta/i debates hurt my head, so I'm calling this one quits. Afterall, you did buy one. Even if it is for a DD, there had to be something about it you liked. :up:Comment

gas mileage.Originally posted by Eurospeed88
i'd shoot myself if i had to drive another no-torque 4banger again, so that's a plus.
fine. an eta is like a handjob rather than a blowjob. i has excitement and thrill of high r3vs and the top end pull. eta you're just strokin low and not getting anywhere.Comment

I'll put my '87 eta with a 3.45 lsd differential, JimC chip, and about a 100lbs lighter than stock(no AC or trunk tar....) up against a heavy convertible E30 any time. :-)Comment

And against a JC chipped, lightened cabby with a 3.73 LSD, your eta would still suck - but not too badly! ;)Originally posted by etajohnCurrent Cars2014 M235i2009 R56 Cooper S1998 M31997 M3Comment
