Anyone know the performance figures for a 325i Cab??
I know it's 170 BHP but what 0-60, top speed, torque, mpg?

Cheers

ok my 325i Cab has the M20 in it which recently had a rebuild , new cilynder head , vales , crank shaft ect so I am guesssing the power should be fairly close to the orginal. Thes are the stats for the M20B25

Because it has no CAT the power is 171 bhp with a CAT it's 170 bhp

Torque for the M20 is 215 N·m (158 ft·lbf) @ 4000 with a red line of 6700

I normally get 300 to 340 miles out of a 60ltr tank , so I guess it gives me about 26 to 28 mpg. Obviously due to modifaction to my car the mpg can be off as I have

30mm drop
After Market back Box
Automatic 325i Radiator
17" Wheels

Top speed really can differ alot depending on the gear box and LSD you have fitted. My feeling is the gear ratios are close as I go get a nice acceleration thrugh all the gear and the car seems to top out around 120mph. Again this may differ from the orginal cabs but due to my cars age ( 1986 ) I can not give 100% assurances to the top speed and mpg.

i would guess the 0-60 for a 325i cab if in good condition would be around 8 seconds due to the extra weight, 7.5ish for a saloon

I let a fellow zoner who lives by me drive my cab the other day. He said it did feel very different compaired to a standard coupe. The biggest difference I noticed is the cab seems more planted at the back than my 2 previous E30's
