            Aren't you the one who just made a post a week or so ago about apologizing for being such a dick, and wanting to be a more active member? And in your thread title, you start right off calling etas shit and slow? You're off to a great start.

                They are slow-er than a 325i. They have about 50 less horsepower, and about 10-12 more torque. They also have a lower rev limit, only about 5200. Chipping them nets around 145 hp and around 180 tq, making them substantially quicker, and slightly raising the redline. They get really good gas mileage, and are quick as hell out of the corners.

                They aren't shit. Just because you're a rockstar with your Hartge car doesn't mean the rest of the E30s "beneath" you are shit. Try being less of an asshole and learn to have a little tact when asking about things.

                              Yeah, I think you have to run at least 91, but we have 92 here.
