Does anyone know what kind of numbers a '95 M3 puts down? I tried searching the web, but all I came up with is stuff for the European model.

Just curious how it stacks up to my '03 6spd. OBVIOUSLY it's going to handle like a dream... but how's the power compare?

Thanks...

 

They should do 0-60 in about 6 seconds flat (give or take) and the 1/4 in mid 14's @ 95-97 mph. Quick cars

 

from BMW World:

 

More than a match for 4th/5th Gen Maximas...

 

Good match for 02/03 more than for 95-01's stock that is.

 

ya it'd be an excellent match for the 02/03's. on the straits at least

 

I can hang but slowly lose it to my friends 96 M3. I pretty sure a 2k2 or 2k3 can hold its own.

 

i raned the older m3 when i had my 2k2 gxe and i beat if off the line up to 120 then it started catchin up to 130 and we stopped

 

Those M3s are high revers. If the driver is good enough to drive the car properly, any pre-2002 maxima is toast unless heavily modded

 

The 95's seem to have a bit less torque than it's predacessors (3.2's), but make sure he is not chipped or he will burn you....OBD I baby.....throw a european MAF on that thing and watch out!.......Just a heads up..........You should be able to see it thru the front grill/ brake cooling duct if he has one. Peace_

 

I ran two different E36 M3 coupes (5 speed) on the same stretch of Route 1 - Edison NJ with similar results: Fully hung with them through their 1st & 2nd gear but got pulled on in their 3rd gear. Caveat: My 2K2 is an automatic; I can only speculate how good a well driven 6sp could do against it.

Peace.

 

my brothers 1997 m3 hit o-60 in 5.4 seconds and a quarter at mid 14s. very quick

 

1995 M3 0-60 6.2 1/4 14.6

My brother has a 1997 M3 5 speed with ECIS intake, Koni/GC, and AAW clutch/flywheel. It's faster than any Maxima I have driven. IMO it would take F/I in a Maxi to take his car out.

 

I used to own a 95 M3. I actually raced a 2K2 Max with it. I did own the Max but I was impressed with the way it hung on. That is why I own a Max now. I do miss the bimmer though.

 

Go to www.car-stats.com for all your 0-60 times and so on. Good web site.

Here's a snippet from Car and Driver (July 1994)

0-60: 5.6 seconds
0-100: 14.9 seconds
1/4 mile: 14.3 sec @ 98 mph
Top speed: 137mph (GOVERNED)
handling: .86g
70-0 braking: 158ft

For that time (1994), it was pretty impressive.
