Hi all
I would like to know the 0-100km time of a standard e30 325i auto and manual
Anyone know?
Other models would be interesting to see.
Thanks!

'bout an hour I'd guess....40 mins if you put your foot down.

its a bit quicker than that. A standard 325i Cabriolet does it in 8.7. The Saloon does it in 8.3 from where I've seen and thats manual, auto's usually bout a second slower than the manuals.

A bit off topic maybe but is it just me that finds 0-60 times are always faster than the manufacturers say they are?

agree with you on that, you'll find some zoners on here who will claim and say that their 0-60 on their standard 325i's is quicker than the manufacturers figures.

Aren't BMW's figures stated with 3 people and luggage or something stupid like that?

Those figures in the links look very wrong , i wish my 325i kicked out 141kw. So i ran down and looked in my manual, these are the figures the book gives.
316i: 13sec
318i: 11.3 sec (man) 12.6 (auto)
320i: 10.9 sec (man) 12.3 (auto)
325i: 8.8sec (man) 10.1 (auto)
325is: 8.1 sec
All the above is from a South African manual.
cheers

Im not sure, it would explain a lot if they are though. Could be with a full tank of fuel aswell?

in one of my old performance car mags they timed a red sport at 7.5 secs to 60 so i think 8.6 is debateable

i have amnaged a few 6.8 second 0-60's out of my standard sport
most of the figures are quoted conservativly.....and on old tyres too.....15 years has seen a lot of developments in the way of tyre technology

Not likely, more like poverty spec cars with an egg cup of fuel in them and an anorexic midget behind the wheel. Sometimes they don't even use the clutch when changing gear, just wrench it in. I read all this in Autocar a few years ago, surely BMW wouldn't put themselves at a disadvantage on purpose would they? Doesn't help their sporting credentials much.....
