What makes a 325e so shit and slow?

[FLUTE007]

I love my ETA.

Ive owned faster cars. I've owned swapped BMW's. I've done swaps in BMW's.
You cant beat character, in the form of OEM.

A chip, good maintenance, and proper gearing with good wheels and tires is enough to make buying an Eta a good choice.

soooooo true

This thread has made me love my eta more than ever.

Your ETA is shit and slow.

and you've never drive an E?

You have 4 e30's and neither one of them is an E? I currently have 2 I's and 2 E's. I always drive my eS. It maybe a little slower, but out of corners and for city driving, it's by far more fun than my last iS.

It's not super fast, and I am not beating any supercars, but I get amazing gas mileage for the kind of driving. My lowest city mpg is 24, the rest of the months it stays in the upper 20's and lower 30's. Highway is a whole other world. Going 70 in fifth at idling RPMs.

Best car for the money.

How do you get your ES to 70 in 5th at idling rpms, that's a dream come true, mine hums along at about 2800...

I like mine a lot. Looking foward to putting my S52 in front of that 2.93. Efficiency and ponies..

By the way, I noticed your signature.. you need more spring rubbers to raise that sucker up.

i got one and i only drive it cause i destroyed my 325 is. i think its a lack in the cars part to want to be fast....it does get good gas mileage in comparisn

its not going to go anywhere with a 2.93. You need much lower gearing. I run a 3.91

I dunno I really like my 3.25 with my m52.. it pulls plenty and still gets good mileage.

[RickSloan]

i got a 2.93 with my M30 and it pulls mighty hard, havent had a chance to check the MPG yet tho...

It should go alright with the dogleg gearbox.

You're a complete douche bag.

Mehh, that all you can say...

If he uses a ZF gearbox a 2.93 will be fine.

I have an M30 with a 3.46. guzzle guzzle guzzle
I could (and should?) go lower, but, I can already do 105 in 3rd...

I love eta's. My old one (from daN) was almost on par with the 2.5 in hp and beat it in torque with a shaved head, i throttle body, intake and airbox, chip and exhaust and still got ~29mpg

If they made a late model eta 4 door I'd buy it right now.

Actually, I'd buy an 88 325. I'm gonna start looking for one.
