Engine is 3 L V8 and Nikasil version ( just more money on high octane petrol ) . The 8.8 second that BMW mentions in it's user manual is for Adaptive mode not sport , although I dont know whats the official time for Sport mode . How many of you ever driven a 5 series (V8) in sport mode as gearbox option ?? Do the 3 series models have the same sort of gearbox as well ? Or maybe I got the Batman's car however , iam quite happy of how my car is and I have never needed to speed up to 100Km in 6 , 7 or 8 seconds . My friend who owns the new 530i asked for a contest of who reaches 100km faster and I told him without any doubt you !! And how many of you who own 530i E34 have ESC+ traction control ( Automatic activation so no option to turn it off !) ??

As far as I know nothing has been done to this car . I should mention it once again I can only reach that time when gearbox set in "Sport" mode . however the "Adaptive" can be quick fast responsive but sport mode is just amazing . My friend purchases a 530I 06 ( 3L 6Cylinder ) and after he drove my car he said he was impressed by the reponse of the sport mode of my car.

Why I would lie about something like that ? You dont believe me lets put it into test ! My car is automatic 5 speed with Sport and adaptive selection . I assume you have seen it if you own or come across a 530 or 540 . The M3 was manual and I dont know how expert was the driver but he is a pretty good driver though . I believe you aware when that type of gearbox which mine is zf model came out , customers had option to choose between different ratio settings for the gearbox in Germany , France , Japan , USA and England . Maybe you need to check your 530iSE checked cause my clock works perfectly mate

Thanks for the answer , But my watch was ok and I challenged a 330 M3 96( 3 L 6 cylinder ) for it . To be totally accurate i tagged 100Km on 6.4 Second and 330M3 did it on 6.6 The "Sport" option on the gearbox on 530i is just amazing . Although I normally dont put any pressure on the car based on the age and milage it has done but I quite enjoy put my car into test occasionally specially with other BMWs. My mate was asking if I have modified my engine and I told him no its all BMW put together and has no modification . What car you have Kiwi ?

Hi to everyone , I have a 530i 94 which has done 170k and still catches 0-100Km in 6 Sec .. -A friend told me about a product that apparently protects the engine so much called "Motor Up ". Does any one recommend to use such a product on BMW engines ? If there are other products which is the best ? I change the oil on time and try to use best petrol ( 98 OCT ) on my car ( expensive ! but hey I love my car ) . -Another question I have is how can I find out my gearbox is ZF or GM to know should I flush and change the gearbox fluid or i just need to add to it ? The reason I want to know is few a little while I feel the gear shiftting is a bit harsh so I wanted to prevent any damage to my gearbox . By the way , my 530i gearbox is 5 speed auto which A and S options ) I appreciate to share your opinion about my questions Regards, Ben
