M50 Dudes, what's your biggest kill?

[E30BeemerLad]

Fuzzy, have you had your weapon down the 1/4 mile yet?

[e30bmlover]

My S50 has taken out a few "performance" cars.

i bet its @ucking quick! does it have enough to take out fuzzys ford engine!?!?!
name some victories too!

similar power levels. it could go either way.

would be a good race! team schnitzer ftw... powered by bmw...

[fuzzy]

Fuzzy, have you had your weapon down the 1/4 mile yet?

no, the couple of times i went with my old 282bhp level it was pissing down with rain so it wasnt worth doing.
another £500 spent can see me pushing 370bhp or if i fit my spare bigger turbo 400 is there to be had but more laggy

Mini Cooper S (that was too easy!)
E46 M3 (was close.)
Astra VXR, (again too easy)
Megane 225 (see above)
Porsche 911 (996) carrera 2 (Not a win as such but i dont think he expected to see me on his tail at 140mph!)

Demlot was surprised when i passed him like he was standing still while he was doing 140 in his S14 iS (which has a calibrated speedo!).
Ant and Oz will confirm this as they were my passengers at the time!

[twism]

ah! i see we have taste! i see schnitzer stripes...

Thank you, for the nice comment mate. Yes it has schnitzer stripes, as well, as the hole ac schnitzer package for the outside that has been offered for e30. I'm only missing ac schnitzer mirrors, but I bought DTM ones, that would go on the car

Not being funny but was the fella in the E46 M3 trying?

[fuzzy]

e46 m3's arent as fast as you think....i was very close to one (10-15 metres)from a standing traffic light start right upto 120 when we ran out of road and again that was stage 1 tune(282bhp)

S50 mate not M50! 13.9 @ the pod with loads of wheel spin, E46 M3's were doing similar times.

I had it with one, it was close but i did it!

0-60 in the 5's, high 13 quarters and 160+ mph with E30 aerodynamics!

Its quick end of!

[Colonel Sanders]

i cant wait to hit the motorway with my e30...

[barryj]

Sorry I missed the point as the thread was about M50's.........................................its all relative I suppose as you are talking highly modded E30 v's out of the box M3.

[fuzzy]

i think his is an out of the box s50, its just in the wrong box.

[bss325i]

Well i though i would throw mine in as others have.

Its all about power to weight ratio.

E46's are lardy.

i thought you had given up on yours after getting an m3?

[bss325i]

What is you chucking out?

Over 400 iirc?

[hubble]

Would I be right in saying an M50 is a 24v engine? and what capacity would that be a standard 3.5?

[E30BeemerLad]

it's the lump found in E36 325 & E34 525 (post 92) Gino

Yes it's 24v 192 bhp stock

[bss325i]

Would I be right in saying an M50 is a 24v engine? and what capacity would that be a standard 3.5?

M50 is 24V and came in 2.0 and 2.5

M52 is also 24V and came in 2.5 and 2.8.

3.5 was an M30 or M60 V8.

[stonesie]

They came in 2.0 and 2.5 in the uk, the later M52 was stroked to 2.8 too and the 2.3 was really a restricted 2.5.

Not sure what the 3.0 is (M54??)



Damn, beaten to it

[fuzzy]

hoping/expecting 500 ?

[Cloggy Saint]

Is the 2.0 M50 a worthwhile swap, assuming you can't find a 2.5?

Weapon!

[Cook318IS]

not really 150bhp and a heavy engine. better off with an m42

as do i!! the kit needs spraying though.. do you have the 16'' type 1's?? i have a set of mirrors on hold as well as a strut brace, do you have the steering wheel?

Don't talk about Sean like that

I think 500 was the figure he mentioned previously. It's a mental old beasty.

[hubble]

Thanks fellas! Learnt something new today M50

[E30BeemerLad]

they do look right at home in the E30 'bay

[hubble]

Better not have a tilt at that any time soon....

[twism]

Here is a video of e30 with m54b30 engine, drag racing with e46 m3. The 3.0 litre engine in the e30 makes 230hp, and by the way it stays next to the e46, I'm pretty sure an e30 with S52 would be a lot faster than e46 m3.

The whole car needs spraying. This is on the list for things to do next summer. I don't have type 1's, I'm not a really big fan of them, but I will be getting some 16" rims, because bigger brakes would be going on the car too. I have a 4 spoke schnitzer steering wheel yes, but I'm not using it, because currently on the car there is 350mm OMP Suede one. Shoot me a msg with a price if you're willing to sell your mirrors

Cheers Alex

[hubble]

Nice vid - thanks. Bloody quick E30!

[Jhonno]

How did you do the wiring with the M54?!

He probably wasn't trying

Afterall apparently there is nothing you can do to an e30 to beat an out the box quick car

[barryj]

How much does a standard E30 M3 Evo sport kick out?

[Jhonno]

238bhp claimed..

A bit like this?



Not my best run that day either!

[barryj]

How do you think one would hold up against a 3.0 286bhp E36 M3, being so much lighter an all?
