@TypeDoubleR

It has double VANOS already ;)

Hey Erik! I can't believe you were beaten, man.

The 35i cannot be as fun, sound as nice and rev as high, though. A high-revving N/A engine is what BMW Motorsport is all about.

Your car is the internet benchmark for all 3.2 cars out there. I used to own an E36 3.0, now an E46. BMW I-6 for life! :)

@Seyran325

Thx for you're comment! And yes there's always a faster car out there ;)

And you're right about the fun of the N/A engine, the sounds is also much nicer.

E46 sounds also great. Have fun!

Hi Erik, your M3 Seems to be in excellent condition,

I am just buying my First M3 (3.2 6spd) This weekend, and am really excited as I have wanted one for 10 years.

I am keeping my E30 2.7ltr stroker I only had the cash for one with slightly high ks. I am wondering if you dont mind how many ks are on your clock.

I will be Dyno'ing mine in August, so hopefully I will return some decent figures as I am worried about the power loss over the 180,000kms its done -still happy to be owning one!

@cheozuka

Did you dyno you're car already?

still pretty amazing that the naturally aspirated euro M3 6cyl from the 1990's can hang with twin turbo 6cyl bmw of the 2009. Gotta give it props, love Evo M3's!

@Hahmed17 Better option is to keep the 3.0 engine and add a 6-gear box from the 3.2.

You will notice a lot more difference in acceleration and torque.

I used to have a 328i with a 325i manifold complete m3 exhaust and a 6-gear box from the m3 3.2 and the 3.15 differential of a 3.0 M3. The 3.23 differential from an M3 3.2 is too heavy and will add too much weight to your car.

The 328 is the only non M car wich fits an M3 gearbox., with ecu remap i did 230 km/h in 5th gear.

never tried top speed

[MrShriepshroepshrap]

leuk filmpje ik denk dat die m3 wel sneller gaat op topsnelheid ahoewel die gechipte 135iook snel gaat dus nja..BMW FOR LIVE driftautos

[Hahmed17]

You hung in there man, but those 125's are pretty quick stock AC Schnitzer tuned, now thats insane, I have a 3.0 m3 now, but Im gonna do a swap one day for the 3.2 Euro spec motor, the highlight of my life to say the least.

[breck569]

damn good race, i expected the 135i to win by more because ive seen videos of the e46 m3 loosing worse...

[psychotronik123]

@psychotronik123

Ow yeah Belgium car :)

[psychotronik123]

Hmmm can i beat that 3.2 off yours...

I have a 3.0 324Pk and 367Nm . A new battle? Lol :D

[doosbigalo]

BS. ur a sad driver if u can't win with that package..

[62bmwfreak]

het is inderdaad wel jammer dat je verloren hebt. maar, maar, maar ten eerste heeft hij meer koppel ten tweede zijn vrsnllngn zijn langer ten derde het is een 3.0 TwinTurbo ten vierde veeel nieuwere techniek.,,!!!! maaar maar maar!!! kijk naar de bouwjaren verschil. de e36 m3 3.2 houd hem bijna bij. en dat is wat de e36 gwn een focking beeeeeeeeest maaakt.,,!!! petje zwaar aff!!!!!

[FallenForever]

I have to admit

german respect

that was a great pull!

Id say you almost got him but its not about winning

its all about having good times and enjoying the cars
