'87 BMW 325 accelerating (ETA)

First video submission, quite old. I'll leave it up for old times sake since it's my most viewed :( I just noticed under full acceleration I was getting about 6mpg. Ouch.

i have the same car and they are pretty fast for stock. my odometer is stuck on 233,507 and its been stuck there since last feb and i bought it at that mileage but still runs great

@NorthFace051 I guesstimate that I had at least 350-400k on mine before it started knocking on the bottom end. Mine stuck at 166k or so and was like that for 8 more years. Good car, sad I couldn't afford to repair it. BMW parts are expensive, no matter how old or basic a model it is.

@miniinverter Oh I'm terribly sorry Mr. BMW owner's manual man. It would seem that I swapped the check engine light for the inspection light. This happens on youtube sometimes. You are right about the inspection part. The way you worded it sounds like I am intentionally misleading people when I am not. While you are correct, I don't appreciate your tone.

@Polofreak6n2 Wrong, It is 120 hp and 170 torque from the factory and the rev limit is 4700. With the DME, wiring harness, intake manifold and head from a 325i you can make around 180 hp.

@just2stoned this information is incorrect. i have the owners manual in front of me and it states that all green lights on mean your car is good. as you go on, the green lights go out saying that you are getting closer and closer to needing inspection/ an oil change. when it turns yellow, maintenance is due. when the lights turn red, maintenance is overdue. Don't supply people with false information

realy stupid peopel are here diesel

a stock eta has 123hp (around)

and the max RPM was 5.000 rpm, !!!

only eta engines eta is build for saving fuel

but with other BOSCH motor ecu it cant get around 180 hp

and can go over the 7.000 rpm for idiots ho dont know what a ETA means go looked up on wiki !!

@just2stoned lol.. this was like. in 1999.. i was just making a lightly humorous comment :)

@smash8979 That isn't hardcore techno, and It wasn't really bumping. I'm not a douchebag that forces other drivers to listen to my music. On a side note, Alan Jackson also 'bumped' through that system also.
