Guest Andrew Report post Posted July 15, 2005 thats a weird time to 100km brent, i only just manage that now with my mods, isnt the factory time 9.8/8.9? that is seriously slow - an e28 535 is about the same as an e30 325 and mine does it under 7 seconds.

Have a bit of a play and work out a system you can manage - you have an LSD so its not going to take too much effort to get it goin hard! I do know how - and its damn easy on the road. But at meremere it was twice as slippery that day as normal road surface. Seem to be all e30s were lighting up second gear also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
