speedyg 16 Report post Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) I was reading the E30 owners manual tonight and read that the 80k to 120k in 4th was 9.1 secs for a 325i 5 speed non sport. This is a great way to test your car out for any performance gains as it eliminates a good or bad start etc. So I went for a drive, full tank, 1 person, flat road, no wind(Private road of course) . Using the timer on the trip computer I got 7.2, 7.4, 7.8(slight uphill), 7.3, 7.1. Not wanting to promote speeding but just wondering how that compares to other 325's out there? Now don't be an ass and do this on a busy road or concentrate so hard on the stopwatch that you drive into a hedge! Just get to constant 80 in 4th and floor it till 120.

Agreed325_driver, I think you may have chose the wrong forum to make highly untrue claims like that. But you never know, someone might be impressed and believe you, we do get the odd pre-pubescent visitors who may believe you and be suitably impressed.
