so I use this site for reference every once in a while. How accurate are these times to your actual cars? I am especially weary since idk if my car does 6.4 stock... but maybe it does. (1st # is 0-60, 2nd is 1/4 mile)

Extra wheel weight probably negated the additional throttle response. Sounds fairly accurate, although my car doesn't feel like a high 7 0-60, not at all. I'll have to go time it.

too many variables to factor into how accurate those times are but they sure a good guide to follow. my car is so slow stock
True, temperature, altitude, auto/man, whose driving, etc can all chage the times =/- a few 1/10s... but im sure these are within 1 or 2/10 in either direction
this is information probably taken from BMW itself and they have been known to be a bit humble about thier numbers. when i ran my car ,the 0-60 i got was around 6.9 and 7.0 but that was when my car was a stock 1994 325is.. i dont know what i run now but im hoping its around the high 4's
I'm gunna have to say those times are slightly tweaked. It lists the '98 328is at 6.2 and 14.7 in the 1/4. BUT, essencially the exact same car, the '99 328i at 6.9, 15.2 quater mile. WTF?....Not to mention is says the the '95 325iC is 1.5 slower than the 325i Coupe.??....com'on....its not that much of a difference.

the 99 328 is e46 though, so it's slightly heavier
i wanna see what your #'s are now furious
