NOPE. grand central service road..me and my cousin (2000 323i steptronic)..he thinks hes all big and bad with that thing sheeesh. he rolls down the window and tells me to run on green. fine with me!!! both got off the line pretty good..i got off quicker..and at 60 i was a car length in front..and pullin' away. hazards and everything..i brake and jus cause hes (#$*($ and got beat..he has to burn by me. what a loser

 

Those are a joke so no worries! You should be able to pull more than one car length to 60? I ran one from 140-205km and totally destroyed it!

 

yeah..he was totally behind me..like u could see his whole car fully in the side view mirror. theyre nothing. i had my TCS on, overdrive on, and i left it in "D". wheres the competition?

 

You'll be glad to know my 2k2 also beat a 330ci It wasn't easy from light to light but i beat him nevertheless. He was pis*** though.

That was when i just got my 2k2. A lot of people thought i was a ricer with that taillight hehehe...

 

Is that the 2.5l L-6? With an automatic? Who orders BMW's with automatics? (BMW has reworked their designations for the engines)

 

nope....those are 2.3 liters I-4

 

Hey, are we going to get the BMW guys over here complaining now? Do they waste their time like the Acura guys do?

 

the 323 is a 2.5 Inline 6. they where stupid when they badged it 323!

 

current BMW 325 = '98-'00 BMW 323 as far as I know. Both come with 2.5L I-6 engine.... 170 hp or so...

 

184 bhp to be exact

 

hmmm... they must have upped the rating on the current ones... I thought the previous 323 had 170hp....

 

.....you 5th genners should have no problems whatsoever.

 

I beat a 323 last week in my 97 Auto by 1 Car length to 60, i got a great launch.

 

auto bmw's have never been super fast. But try runing a 330 ci (current) 5 speed...
