A few questions: 1) Do you still have that car, and 2) How many miles are on it?

[scubakobe]

no, sold it

[BimmerDude3]

Did you build up some revs for a launch with the clutch in? Cause the needle stayed at zero but when you dumped the clutch it shot to 2k and went from there.

[scubakobe]

its an automatic, so when i hit that switch under the pedal it kicked the RPMs up

[supagog]

haha I see you have an aftermarket chip

[scubakobe]

no sir

Without a clutch dump, mine does about a 7.2 0-60 dead stock w/ manual trans. I have never tried a burnout start, but figure it wouldn't cut more than about .3 or .4 off my time. 6.8 tops. Conventional wisdom puts it around 7 seconds 0-60 with a good start and a manual (cite: MotorWeek car test, available on youtube), anyone claiming sub 6.5 isn't running stock or more likely is simply lying.

Im thinking about buying one of these. Would you recommend it?

@boostedwolfie mines definitely gets to 60 much faster than 8 seconds that i know for sure

[boostedwolfie]

@jsk8drummer you ARE wrong, thats normal acceleration for an auto

[YamahaATVMudder]

i had a 96 368is with a stick and it did 0-60 in a little over 6 theres something very wrong with yours

[MannnyManku]

it did it in 8 sec roughly ??

[jsk8drummer]

i got a automatic 99 328is with 130k miles. I have never actually timed it i know for a fact 0-60 is under 7 seconds. probably on the low side of 6 seconds. I beleive 0-60 for these is rated at 6.3 seconds (i could be wrong). im not sure but i think mine does about that time

@supagog in the window hahaha

I had a 5 speed convertible that ran a 5.5... stock. The straight 6's were beast.
