320i, 0-60?

[TaitRacing]

Hello people

I've done a search, found everything else mpg, power, weight etc but no 0-60 times.

What is the time quoted for a 320i do to 60 in?

I know it won't be quick, but I'm curious, picking mine up soon and I would like to find out.

Thanks

Dread to think mate prob over 10secs tbh

get a 325tb slapped on that will make it a bit more fun to drive

[TaitRacing]

I want to do the SELOC championship with it, needs to remain a 320i! But a 2.5 lump would be the way forward.!

[m3ben05]

Il quote mr blair for this one, "some time in the next year"

Sorry, couldnt resist

[oguz327]

PBMW are saying 10 seconds

[Chris-W]

Quoted figure was 8 seconds.

[Davenotouring]

8 seconds!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

You can only have 2.0 or 1.8 in SELOC. (Milltek now)

[Simon13]

i thought it was 30 seconds?

[Bob_S]

chris an is is quicker and they reakon 9.9 for one of them

[kam-325i]

0-60 time, from BMW, for the 320i,is.......






Wait










Wait






10.2 sec

Really? Blimey. I'm only quoting that 8 secs from various publications I have next to me.

9.9 - is that really true? I didn't think 8 was all that quick....

[m3ben05]

It will be a bit quicker than the official quoted times, most BMW's are.

Dont forget the M3's official time is only 6.7 so for a 320 to crack 8 seconds would be something special!

[Chris-W]

I've obviously been driver ÃÂaber-quick cars for too long....

[Davenotouring]

320iS maybe 8.0 seconds.

320 is more like 11 seconds.

[dan_emaps]

lol my touring did it in 11.2...

[Davenotouring]

Sounds about right!

[dan_emaps]

Sounded about 5 though lol! it also squeeks its goodyears in 3rd! lmao, 320s suck, slow and thristy.. which is why i'm sticking a t34 on it.. cos thats gonna improve mpg

[tregzybmw]

on my judgement, my 320i ragtop does 0-60 in 9.4-9.8secs, from judgement of driving loads of other cars around this time and faster...

maybe low 9seconds on a good day.....in the dry, with prevailing wind, downhill, on 99ron fuel, car full of helium balloons, and a very skinny driver

[Davenotouring]

I would like to see a 129bhp 1.2tonne car do a 8 second 0-60 time....

[TaitRacing]

It's an '85, only thing different from a norm 320i is the LSD which is illegal to run in PBMW Champ anyway.

[hammoj28]

total bmw mag recon the 318 IS does 0-60 in 9.1 but i reckon its quicker tbh. reckon the 320 is a bit quicker than 10 aswel. Performance figures are always slower than reality for some reason.

[WerkdE30]

if a 318is does it in 9.1 and i can beat a 318is in a drag then cant be that far off in stock form. i do have a manual with 4.4 diff and 14inch wheels plus other mods tho. oh and im a gun behind the wheel hehehe

faster than a saab 900 turbo?

only if it torque steers into the trees...

[E30BeemerLad]

i'd say the Saab 900 Turbo & 320 data had been swapped there, a 900 turbo 8v would kill a 320 in every area.

The 8V saab feels like it gives a bigger shove in the guts than the T16 did

[Jon_Bmw]

I think the chances of any 320 nowadays doing a 60 sprint in 8 seconds is highly unlikely!

26mpg, haha thats worse than my s4. Oh dear.

[E30BeemerLad]

I wish I knew what 26mpg feels like

[hammoj28]

saab 900 turbos ain't that quick unles they are the high pressure ones. The low pressure ones only have 150bhp and they weigh the same as a block of flats. I like em tho. Id have one if i had to have a saab.

amen-lucky if my shed breaks the 20 second barrier, but it does have about 1/2 tonne of shit in the boot at all times

[E30BeemerLad]

looking at those figures again Argos, especially the 1/4 mile times makes me think the "press" cars were far from off the line norm. I really have to quesiton that 1/4 time. Be interesting to see who has the quickest 320 on 23rd Sept at the pod and how near it is to that time. Even a standard 325 would struggle to better that by much IMO

lol

Well i once had a 1.4 carb escort and I can tell you, that i'm not sure if i ever made 60mph

I'm doutbing those figures too, but hey ho, i'm sure they must do more than 26mpg!

[kirils]

320i l-jetronic 125hp is 9.3sec 0-100km/h or 0-62mph

sorry mate but your 320 must be fucked. i see 280 miles to Ԛ£40, thats not bad at all, as for the 0-60 times, its gotta be below 9.5 seconds, my 320 will touch 60 in second. performance bmw are quoteing 10.2 for a 0-62 time. so i would say middle to late nines.
