ETA 0-60 stock or modded, post up.

im using the most precise method i could think of, a video camera viewing the tach and speedometer. after the videos are made i put them on my computer and by looking at the tach and speedo i can determine the exact start and stop of the run and use the time shown at the bottom of the media player, can also skip frame by frame which helps to be very precise.

Hate to break it to you but e30 speedos always read a little fast. When my speedo reads 60 I'm actually traveling 56-57 mph as verified by gps. I guess this is going to add another second to your 0-60 times.

I have never owned an eta myself, but my friend used to have one so I know what they are like. Im with JGood, people bash the eta too much. Its a respectable car. It wasnt meant to do insane 0-60 times (obviously). The thing is its still an e30 so why does everyone hate on them? honestly. They are good, reliable cars.

Now that everyone knows what an "e" will do. What will a bone stock "i" do 0-60?

[JK_E30]

I wish I would have done a few runs when I first got mine but I chipped if right after I went and got it registered.... damn.

I have the original owners manual and in the back it says it does like 8 or 8.5 I cant remember at the moment. When I read that I laughed.

im planning on making my eta a track whore.

I wish I still had my eta so I could contribute some numbers to this thread. Life goes on..

Really, 4 pages and not a single verified time from anyone but myself, also my speed reads correct, tested it multiple times. its cause i have bigger than stock tires in back currently.

I found a Road and Track mag. test.

87is
0-60 7.4
1/4 15.6 at 88mph

86es
0-60 8.6
1/4 16.4 at 82mph

The time for the 0-60 on the e is different then what BMW put out on there ads. All the ads that i got say, 0-60 in ruffly 9.4???

still want to see what an aged 325is will do, on camera, no stopwatch BS.

[Firestorm]

well i know my 325 in it's old guise would stomp both my other 323i's, never timed it though. I'm guessing it'd do it in about 8s. Chipped with 3.46lsd.

[LivingLegend06]

Is a 318is faster than a chipped eta?

[Firestorm]

Doubtful

[rThor432]

Doubtful

Yep.

[TopOfTheLine89]

all 318s are slower than eta stock, here are the numbers for the late model e30 318is

0-60 mph: 9.8 seconds
1/4 mile: 17.3 seconds
Top speed: 122 mph (electronically limited
