Fastest car on this forums 0-60

Probably around 5.5-6.5 seconds, thats either a 2.5 turbo or a high tuned 2.7.

Do I smell Troll?

Can't ever remember an insurer asking me "OK sir, and what's the 0-60 on that?"

Fairly sure Ian(332isport)'d be pretty confident against any of the 2.7s... & as for Glenn... winkeye

welcome mate

i have a 325i sport and had it inusred through privilege when i was only 18 (19 now)..

the best t0-60 i have had is about 6.8 seconds with a good start.most end up around the 7-7.2 mark though...still quite good.


with a calena license and 2 years NCB at 18 year old i managed to insure a standard 325 sport for Ԛ£1850 fully comp through privilege.

hi mate, welcome to the zone, good to see another young driver on here. Im just 20 and am insuring a 325i motorsport in my own name for Ԛ£900 with Adrian Flux. They were untouched by anyone else, closest was about Ԛ£400 away, so I'd definitely recommend them. I do have 3 years NCB though so dont expect that kind of quote if you dont

Good luck

Mate I know what you mean, I'm a VW man and currently drive a corrado 16v but have just bought a 325i Touring for the wife. The insurance on the BMW is Ԛ£200 dearer than the corrado !

What are you thinking anyway !!! buying a 325 at 19yrs old ! I've had to wait until 30 !

i dont know what mine is officialy,
but at the wpce trackday at llandow, there was one of those elise's (it was a 111s, which had a few tweaks) that i was leaving on acceleration.
not sure how well i'd get off the line though
