Acceleration of various E30s

[kingbreezer]

I've been trying to find these figures on google, but to no avail.

Neither, suprisingly, can I find them in the FAQs on here...

Basically, please can someone tell me the definitive power, torque and acceleration figures for:
a) E30 320i (E reg)
b) E30 325i sport (F reg)

Thanks.

Cool, that's useful, thanks.
How do I know which engine an E30 325 sport has? Did they come with the B25 Motronic (170bhp)?

I haven't got a pic at hand, but the 325 engine has a more rounded inlet manifold, the 320 one being more angular.

The engine in the Sport is the same as all 325s which is the B25 M20 engine. the sport differences are in the running gear and Mtech kit which varied depending on pre/post facelift.

Cool, that's good to know. That site came up with a 0-60 figure of 7.4 seconds for the sport, anyone know off-hand what it is for a 320? I'm struggling to find 0-100 times too.

The owner's manual states the following for a 320i(Yes, I have an original BMW owner's manual, service book, warranty, folder etc!):

Manual, no cat:
0-62: 10.2 secs
0-75: 14.1 secs
Standing Km: 31.3 secs

Manual, with cat:
0-62: 10.6 secs
0-75: 14.5 secs
Standing Km: 31.7 secs


It also contains the figures for all other E30's at the time. If you want more, give us a shout! By the way, my car is an '88 E and it doesn't have a cat, for reference
