Re: I don't like M3s

A mate of mine let me have a drive of a E30 m3 a couple of months ago and it was a totaly diffrent experience to a 325i, much more touque it seemed smoother maybe not a lot quicker but being a left hooker was it a bit weird but you would get used to that just for the style and handling :cool:

looks good Oakey have you ever raced any of the m50/m52s, and how do the 200-220 brake cars fair against the likes of civic type r s etc, cause a good mate of mine had a 06 plate clio 18poo and that didnt pull much on my 325i with cam bbtb and unichip at all, which i thought was good.

So what are these m50/m52s like then.

Well we all know these are a good engine but what are they like in the e30, I mean what sort or cars have you raced since your conversion ect. Whats the 0-60 and more importantly the 0-100 times of these beasts.
Also s50/s52 owners feel free for a little brag
