Silver M coupe was maiking funny sounds....it was in the shop for 30 days so by law(lemon) they are refunding his money. So this saturday stop by brian......01 M3.

 

yea....and it won't be broken in.....

tells you a little about BMW "quality"

 

we all saw the vid of me racing one. 60-120. 2 people in each car. he only pulled about 1 car length. i was happy. and this was when i was still learning to shift and the car was new. try me know with my intake.

 

race to 140 and you will get more cars put on you.. even with your intake

 

Man! I love those cars, probably my dreamc ar, not cuz of their speed, but because they look, so clean. Don't play with fire, cuz you might just get burned.

 

ya i know. why'd you have to kill my dreams

 

because you people are nothing but a bunch of ******!!!!! I'm going to start another thread with the subject of 'USELESS BLABBLINGS FOR ******!!!' Maybe we just need an online chat instead of killing threads all the time.







Ahhhhhh I feel better now. Sorry had to vent. Ok ******, LETS GET IT ON!!!

 

I have to disagree with you on this one, only because I've seen a MB SL600 prepped for SCCA racing at the dragstrip running 12.7 consistently. That is pretty fast for a car that heavy.

 

No doubt. It moves. But look at most production V-12s out there,the old Jaguar V-12, the BMW V-12 and the Mercedes V-12. Their HP isn't exactly the mightiest, but their torque and silent running is to die for. Their respective V-8s seems to be better suited to extremely high HP upgrades. Probably has to do with a limitation in making soooooo many moving parts rev so high. I mean, make a 4 valve per cylinder DOHC v-12 engine, that's 48 freaking valves to turn around at mind dizzing rpms. I mean, damn! That's alot to keep in synch!

Lexus now makes a GS430, that noticably faster than the 400?

 

02 GS 430 is slower than the 00 GS 400? thats what i thought due to emmisions restrictions.. maybe Brian can say.. he has a GS 430

 

Yea Brian's dad had the gs400 then traded that for the gs430, so hell know for sure which is faster.

 

I like the car though, never drove one, but heard good things. Might get that down the road

 

not only that, it no longer has the e-shift for emmission reason too, what a shame.

 

yeah i know alot of 430 owners are ****ed about the e-shift being gone..

 

what's e-shift.

 

like steptronic, tiptronic, touch-shift, manualmatic sorts... you shift gears without clutch, which is just BS anyway in my opinion. some call it F1 style, but the only real F1 system now is only F360, M3 SMG and Aston Martin V12.

 

they are about the same.....430 is a LITTLE faster off the line....

 

I remember reading something on the DTM Power forums about some guy who has a turboed M3, and he was saying that the only thing he has been beat by was some guy in a Tin Turbo 850

so a search, I am sure you can find it. He raced him on the highway, he took it up to 170mph or something like that, and the 850 was out of sight
