Got a friend that is coming up this week with his 92 BMW 735i and wants to run me. I figured we would take it to the track this weekend and see what it could do. Anyone have any experience with these?? He kind of sparked my curiosity lol

Base Number of Cylinders: 6
Base Engine Size: 3.4 liters
Base Engine Type: Inline 6
Horsepower: 208hp @ 5700 rpm
Torque: 225ft-lbs. @ 4000 rpm
Drive Type: RWD
Turning Circle: 38.1 ft.

 

208 HP and what, 4000 pounds or so right? You will smoke him.

 

Think around the 3700 pound area Only real concern is maybe top end?? hmmm Time will tell

 

You will smoke him both off the line and from a roll...

 

nice rear emax95

 

that car is heavier than the max ... good luck

 

Stats for a 1990 BMW 735i

For some reason I don't think you'll have a problem.

yup, you will own him in any possible test except yuppie appeal

 

By looking at the stats and numbers on the car you would think he is a dog lol... He just raced a guy I used to know that has a early 90's TA 305 auto, and he pulled on him, and they said he pulled hard. So, I am anxious to find out.

 

The 3.4L engine has been out for awhile, mods for them must be everywhere. Don't forget that BMW's have LOW first gears. I wouldn't be too worried, but don't underestimate BMW's simply because of a craptacular factory power to weight ratio, they're sneaky little ba****ds!

 

My dad had one, they're slow, like 0-60 in the 8's, you'll WASTE him.

 

Max not a prob!

 

unless he has mods out of wazuu, u'll get him easy. even if he's "chipped" and got exhaust, BMW I-6 were never famous for their torque output. especially amount needed to hustle 7 series.

 

You should be able to spank him with no problem off the line. My mom has a 92 735i and its kind of lazy off the line. It has too much weight and too little motor, but once it gets going it will be coming for your a$$ I have personally had my moms 735 up to 135 with ease so watch him in your rearview. He may or may not be able to pull on you, it depends if he has mods and the condition of his car.
