325_driver 422 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 so guys 0 - 100 times, just lately ive been having mates in their stupid skylines ( turbo'd of course ) bragging on how 0 -100 in 7 seconds seems to be the most amazing time ever. i drive a E30 325i manual and get given a bit of sh*t for having suposably a SLOW BMW ... as all bmw's are slow right guys ? ( standard comment from stupid jap car drivers dont worry people ) any way i went out there in my 325 and did some times. so please can i have some feed back on your times ? and what car, no jap car times alloud. My times were averaging arround 4 - 5 seconds, tending towards the 4 second range and no i wasnt going down a hill, it was slightly up. do i have an abnormal car ? or do 325i really kick ass, ? cause i see in performance car magazines evo's and race skylines that have trouble doing 0 - 100's in that time ? :rambo: let me know cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 Very new bimmers do it in 4-5 seconds. That is extremely fast. McClaren f1 is 3sec - I don't beleive your e30 did it anywhere near that fast. i'd be checking either you speedo or your stopwatch. If you do indeed go that fast, then there is something very good with your engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 4 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 I think that you may be dreaming. 4- 5 seconds is in the supercar realm, not E30 325i times. Cheers Grant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted September 19, 2005 bullshit Your E30 will do it in around 7.5 seconds. If that. E30 325s are NOT FAST CARS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 709 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 2.5 e30s are quick, not fast. Dude if you have been in a car that does low 5s, you'd know about it. Most people who go in a 4-5 second car for the first time say one of two things: "sh*t!" or "f**k!" oh maybe "Jeees!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surge 1 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 Anyway... Uncles Evo 9 MR chops along at 4.4ish seconds to 100.... F'ing things got a launch control that holds the revs in neutral at 5500! If you've got a 325i as fast as an Evo 9, please let me know whats been done to it. Low 8's high 7's is a realistic figure for a 325i. Tip: You can pull on most GTS-T's in 1st gear then back off and claim victory! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 Looking at the owners handbooks that came with both my 325's, they say 8.3 for the manual & 9.8 for the auto. I have timed the SE at 8.1 with a power chip fitted, but using a stop watch & the speedo is not very accurate. Have not tried the lighter M325 yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve K-B 51 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 Na Bro, 4-5 seconds is easy as. All you need is one of those fighter plane launches on the air craft carriers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedyg 16 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 I haved to agree, I think your stopwatch or speedo must be out!! I was happy with a 7 sec 0-100km in my car which has a 2.8 engine with a claimed 210bhp!! If you want to back up your claims you better run the quarter mile and then impress us with your printed time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aliluya 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 4-5 secs .. HAHAH .. funniest thing i heard today .. old mans 4.4 V8 does it in between 5-6secs, and i can guarantee your 325 is not faster than the old's 745i. Mines slow around 8-9 secs, not ment to be fast it's just a really nice car to drive imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
