e30 325 vs e36 325

[tourerti]

if i had my old e30 i would have proved that it could see of the 328is but some horrable person or persons stole it and burnt it so there is no way to show you

Its not possible on a like for like basis and even if you work on both cars you will get 190bhp from the e30 and 240bhp from the 328i so the gap would be even wider.

[Artis]

yes it had the mtec1 bodykit origanl sports wheels what were grey and full sports int but it was a 4 door so it could have been

my bro in law has a e36 328i and ive driven it and mine would smoke it not being biased to the e30 but his is a guttless wonder compared to mine offered to give him a little race but he didnt want to play i wonder why maybe his is not running right but i know which one i would rather own

thankyou another e30 thats kicked an e36328is ass

[E30Adam]

The 328i is far from a gutless wonder.

The 328i is far from a gutless wonder.

you aint drove it ad and i have mate as i said above ad it may not be runnig right but should be as its had a new head on recently

[Artis]

true its not gutless it just ant fast enouth it dosent have that , how can i put this , ah it dont have the grunt that the e30 has

[LOOPYLEE1965]

he is now trying to get his buisness to fund a 330ci i dont think ill challenge him to a race then

[Artis]

no ide stay well away there only good for 155mph though

[tourerti]

Your talking pup my friend, on a like for like basis the e30 325 will not under any circumstances blow the 328i away.
Its just not possible but mayber if the 328i is a shed or has problems then thats another matter but we are refering to a like for like here and not a minter against a shed.

[E30Adam]

What are you guys on seriously?????

The M52 2.8 engine is a far more developed and refined engine than the old M20 2.5 lump and as stock has both more power and torque than the M20.

A stock for stock race the E36 would win, it wouldn't rocket off into the distance but it would win hands down, they are a good torquey engine and the E30 much as I love them wouldn't be able to match it in stock form.

With the restricted manifold being removed from the M52 and being replaced with the 2.5 version you can gain an extra 20 odd bhp. Now you tell me what it would cost to get 20bhp out of an E30... you'd have to do a lot more to it than change a manifold.

Much as I love the E30's, there's no way a 325 would beat an E36 328 in a head to head race both is stock form. The allegedly slow ones that you've driven must have been shagged if they really felt that slow.

The thing is with E36's is that fast speeds don't feel fast like they do in the E30 because they're more refined, you don't realise you're doing the speeds you are.

[LOOPYLEE1965]

mine aint a minter by anyones description mate but has been chipped got an induction kit straight through back box (de-cat as well) and a adjustable FPR off a 325i sport and admittedly his is standard ps the engine was replaced by main dealers about 40,000 ago just before i got it

[tourerti]

That is a very good point, in my m3 it feels as if the car is docile but you look at the speedo and the car is pelting away yet in my e30 if you do 100 miles an hour you know your doing it.

[LOOPYLEE1965]

i can see handbags at 10 paces coming on here

e30

[tourerti]

Look at them on a modified scale and the picture gets better, the e30 with a chip and an air filter and exhaust system will give 190bhp on a decent car and cost around Ԛ£650.
the 328i with inlet manifold and a remap and an induction kit will cost around Ԛ£680 and give 235bhp and sometimes more.

[tourerti]

my be i had the 2.7 alpina engine under the bonnit who knows but i got clocked at 163mph

You need to seriously think long and hard about smoking that crack pipe fella.

[Karan]

hmmmm funny sh1t on here...

e36 would kick ass all day long and at any speeds!!!

however a good 2.7 with 200bhp+ would utterly rape a e36 328.... it will not however do 163mph (LOL)

Karan

[LOOPYLEE1965]

ye but surely the e36 is alot heavier and the power to weight ratio wont be far off the e30??? dont know just guessing mate

if that lot on a e30 325 gives 190 i would eat my own underwear......you would be lucky to even make stock figures..trust me....

and the go faster stripes and LED washer jets will add antoher 20BHP

seriously though, i think the driver losing 15lbs or having a smaller knob would make more difference

well i think it will i got 2 years ban 170 hours comunity sevice and a 600 pound fine for doing that speed in mine by 3 speed cam on the m25

Which backs up my point fully.
As for the top speed then thats crazy also as jays car only managed 167mph with a 3.2 evo engine with one off longer final drive gearbox and e30 m3 dif for 3.25 ratio and that was at 7300 revs so a 2.7 even at 6500 revs wouldnt be close and more likely to be 143 miles an hour.

what ratio diff did u have in there may i ask and what revs were u at......

Your a nobber mate, dont live the life of walter mitty, the highest convicted speed in england is 154 miles an hour so your 163 miles an hour is borlox

[Karan]

i have gps'd mine at 142.... at which point the speedo was way off the clock at about 160...

i was at about 6500 rpm with a 3.73 open diff IIRC

perhaps he meant 136 and it was a typo/////

[tourerti]

even if it was 136 miles an hour he would of gone to jail.

[Artis]

dont ask me wot revs i was at i couldnt tell you what they are at 30 and you say something about the diff lost me there i bought the car like it

[tourerti]

Get onto the local waterboard as some bad shit is in the water down your neck of the woods.
Go to sleep, you will feel better in the morning.

not always some people dont go in nick for speeding

EVERYONE goes to jail if they are caught over 119 miles an hour, it may be as short as 7 days but everyone goes to jail.

hmmm i'll be taking it easier from now on then... i didnt know that....

i just cruise controlled 140mls at 130mph

[Artis]

i disagree with that i know a few people to get cort well over 120 and not gone to jail
