Anyway I done a pull in 4th in 22c ambient temp from 1000 rpm to 5000rpm 25mph to 120mph approx indicated took 22 seconds. Here is the AFR during the pull. Need to find time and motivation to get it back together.
    333i is the sexiest e30, fix that!!! And it's turbo?? ;D

        Attempt #2 went better.... At first. I did 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear 50-80 pulls. I was going to do a 6th gear pull but my empty highway became crowded. So I got off the highway to head home, and promptly hit a piece of metal in the road and took out my oil pan, steering rack, o2 sensor, exhaust, and some other shit. Needless to say, there won't be any more videos from me this year.

          Damn... nothing but issue after issue for you and that car! Did you see how big the metal was?

            Damn, that's fast, JGood! I'm more than a little envious.

            Bummer about the piece of metal, though. Hope you get it fixed soon.

            For statistical sake, the times for yours were (approx):
            3rd 3.5
            4th 4.6
            5th 5.1

            That's just plain awesome.

                Wow... that's pretty damn awesome too... is your speedo accurate? That's some wicked speed you got going.

                I'm guessing Finland or Sweden?

                  Yes pretty accurate, maybe 5-10km/h off @ 200km/h.

                    Nisse, you have one of the most powerful e30's on the planet, and you only run 215mm street tires.

                    Wheel spin at 150mph. You are insane. In a good way.
