What are your 0-60 times?

[ShepsEvo3]

At the GTi International at bruntingthorpe last saturday, the quickest 0-60 mph was a mk1 Scrocco which looked fit for the scrappy. 2.5 seconds to 60!!!

[rubber_duck89]

60 in my 316 you must be joking

[bss325i]

Ive timed mine with a gps and stop watch and it's roughly hi 5 with a 3.15 diff. A 3.9 diff as it strands now is roughly 5.5 ish, but I can't get the traction down!

Is your M60 standard?

Yeah, just green cotton air filter.

So its about 286 bhp right?

286 bhp and 197lb/ft at the wheels

[gooner1]

mine ive owned for 18 months and im still trying to get it 60 but i think its gonna take another 2 years (its hard on a driveway)

0 to 60 in two years!!!!!! Feck, that is slow Josh.

Just trying to get an idea of what mine roughly is, pretty much same power at fly but not sure what at wheel power is. Yours probably has more tourque being a V8 though.

Hi guys,

I'm clocking 0-60 in about 4sec (low 4's).... but not in my 325. I have a lancia delta integrale which has been tweaked and lightened (a lot).

Currently in the garage... again which is why I've got the e30!! fast is good but if it doesn't work then about 8 seconds is perfectly adequate and a lot of fun when it rains

Whats yours?

[/// KAMI]

mine does it in 4 seconds flat...but the only problem is my stopwatch stops after seconds

S50B30 iirc possibly B32, but pretty sure its the 3.0L weapon.

Karan would be a better comparison. He's running an SXX engine.

[fuzzy]

isnt 197lbft very low?

Its old_skool's old S50B30 touring, dyno'ed with 283 bhp.

If you've gone up the drag strip and had it timed properly you can use the 1/8 et and 1/8 mph to calculate your 0-60 to a decent accuracy. Using a stopwatch and eyeballing the speedo is useless.

Here's the calulator thingy;

According to that my 335i did it in 6.0 seconds at the pod where I wasn't getting a great launch. Should be a bit better now as i've changed a fair bit on the car since then.

[JazzMan]

My E46 320Ci does it in 8 seconds on a gtech (7.9 in the book) you can put that down to my bad driving The M54B22 has 170bhp (dont recall the torque off the top of my head, not sure on the weight difference to the E30 but I suspect it's heavier

The Sportster but it's got an M20B28 and weights a lot less than an E30. I'm thinking around 5.5, but that estimate was when it was still a 2.5. Not really tried since as the rebuilt engine is still being run in

[MarkF]

with the 4.45 diff and 320i box in my 325i id need a change into 4th to make 60. then again i can do good smokey standing starts in second!

You had 4.45... I bet that was interesting... Especially 'around town'

[murran]

i still have the 4.45! it tops out at 100 mph!
wasnt so bad when it was a 320i, now ive put the 325i in it really shows up how short it is.

[oze30]

isnt 197lbft very low?

that's awhat I thought, but it
s at the wheels.. so I have no idea.

according to my slip

8.8s
82.25mph

0-60 4.6s

[1an]

so using that calculator thingy my 325 should do it in 7.93 to 60mph, sounds alright to me for a standard engine we shall see if all the weight saving and track preparation can bring the time down slightly

[e36boy]

I would hate to try and predict a 0-60 time for my old Sport coz she used to spin her wheels for about 10 seconds before launch.......In 1st, 2nd and even 3rd sometimes ......Well 3rd was when it was wet !

[e30bmlover]

In 1st, 2nd and even 3rd sometimes

i have the same problem as you except i only spin one wheel at the moment lol roll on next week!

[Dave_M3]

Mine is roughly around mid 7s.

[maxlee]

mine is a easy 2~3 days if i tie my colie to the front it can happen alot quicker (2 days max then) but most times we pass a rspca van so have to brake untie the colie quick and just get out and run

[Theo]

Nice! It's a seriously quick car, really enjoyed trying it out on monday

[Karan]

i cant believe it did 4.6 on those bbs with shitty tyres that time out at pod.....calculation must be out i reckon it does about 4.6 now on the 225 16 t1r toyos

[Theo]

Thats similar pace to 60mph as a ferrari 360! I NEED an s38 in my car.

[Karan]

need to meet up in the wet sometime and u should see what its like lol

goes slideways so easy!

needs hydro wand and strong ass diff though

also where did you get the poly diff mount bush from i spied on ure car.... mine is knackered!!

[Theo]

I got it uber cheap off ebay.
