My engine in it's previous e30 (and it's previous owner) with a stupid dogleg box and short diff combo (5th gear over the line!) got a 14.7 and tbh it's a lot faster in my car with actual gearing so I would expect to see around a low 14second. The engine is an m30b35 in a stripped out drift car with welded diff btw.

Nice, I agree the taller gearing is a must as the M30 needs to be driven on torque.
