if u guys are talking about stock, this is how fast an e36 m3 can go...

143...before it bounces off redline...

And on top of that, i've got a 95 M3. That means 3.15, not 3.23. And my rear differential is stock. 3.15 is stock in 95s. 3.23 is stock in 96+. I dont remember what's in the automatics.

auto m3? i think its 3.91

Thanks Speed. I thought the e36 M3's were electronically limited lower than e46 m3s.

Also, is that ballzacks manual sedan m3?

Well the other night around 3am on I-509 I got my 92' 325i up to 143 mph.
Pretty fun, but kinda scary being that it's 15 years old with a stock suspension. I doubt I'd do it again in this car though, a little floaty in the front end at that speed.

157 on a local bmw club drive. I was chasing down (yeah right) a 2006 audi RS6 that was seriously modded. after i caught him he was sad that he "only hit 175"... what an ass...

[sierralpha86]

god i feel like a pussy with my 145KPH, not even mph!
100% stock 318i 1992 auto. NOt bad sorta considering i had a boot and back seat full of rather heavy audio equipment, but i doubt i'll ever take it up that high again. almost crapped my pants.

[PhatCat]

um...well, I hit 185 in my chipped '86 325e.


































oh, that's in KPH...right about 116mph

[sierralpha86]

is it legal to get em chipped in aus? and more importantly, is it expensive? =P

You can get a Dinan of Conforti, but they are pretty pricey. I got a generic performance chip from ebay for 40.00US, they SAY it produces the same numbers as a Dinan(7-8x more expensive). I have had good results, and no issues with mine. Don't see why they would be illegal anywhere, they just void warranty(if your car is fairly new)

[sierralpha86]

to tell you the truth i dont even really know what it does. I just assumed it somehow lets you go faster than was originally allowed by the comp.
