You know this thread was over a year old.

Stock 325i's are plenty fast....my e30 just feels quick when it's cold outside.

can't say the same for my Old eta and the new M10.

i say 0-60 in 7seconds on a cold day.

My E30 feels much quicker when its cool also. I love the ride home from work when its around 70 or so......Soooo much fun,

my civic with less than 140k got walked by a friends 85 325e with over 200k on it. my 87 325e(with blowen head gasket) and less than 80k walked a friends camery. so they will beat 4beaters all day.

not mine but a 9 second e30 at 150+mph and its not the fastest clip i've seen

there is a clip out there somewhere of a 7second one and plenty 500+whp e30's

lets just say most e30's have enough power to use the rwd =)

Mine is pretty quick. I walked away from a E46 m3 in the mountains.

How much is your car putting down to the ground?

[Hartge_H27]

should be around 295-305. I haven't had it dynoed yet.

I'd rather have a slow E30 than a fast Civic.

[bimmer_E30]

My stock 92 Vert walked a 96 Integra Gsr, and a new-ish mazda3 tonight.

i can't believe how quickly my speedo jumps to 100MPH. not bad for a 20 years old shit box

You'd walk it without needing FI on an S52. I was barely inching away from a '08 M3 coupe at sub 100mph when I had a chance to mess with one.

that motor sucks massive cockles. That has got to be one of the worst, most inefficient motor swap ideas ever. Seriously.... if you don't want to spend a lot of money just m50 swap it... I think anyone who could afford an e30 could save and go m50 easily. Not saying an m50 is on par with the power of the vq35, but that motor seriously sucks donkey balls. I would sooner use a honda or vw v6 than that piece of trash.

I know you're long since banned and all, but... you're a fucking idiot.

I'm thinking $3000 on the engine's performance. After that $3000, could I have a sub 15sec 1/4 mile?

psh i can run 15sec 1/4's all day with my m50 swap
