2007 328i  [10.00]
I can say that the Honda Civic V tech is pretty damn fast but can't take a 328i at least not mine and all I have is a Dinan CAI. I went at it couple of nights ago on my way home on the I80 west bound when some dude tried to give me a challenge(2 door NJ plates V-tech) and to be really honest I was just toying with him and it really seem like the guy was trying hard since I did reach speeds of 150 mph and of course just thinking about how much trouble I would be if a State trooper caught us. I sure did get home a lot faster since we broke off after the Delaware Gap toll booth.

VTECH? Its v-tec.

Honda civic? Your talking about a non si? Your playing with a car with 100 HP.. The K series civic SI aren't a joke. It will smoke your 328i like nothing.

so youre not really trying that hard, but you claim to hit 150mph. it must have taken you minutes of reflective flooring to get there.

you probably raced base CIVIC dx/lx/ex stuff. You race the new SI with k series in 'em, you will get raped sideways. They'll take you on straight line AND in handling department. 325/328/330, all slow as hell. Though 330i manual is decent.

I would have to add K-pro to beat the 330 manual. The 330's are too strong for a civic Si to compete with.... stock.

What's the K series? As far as I know, a Civic SI is a FWD car with a 2.0 4 banger that produces 197 hp at the crank. Why would a 328 have a problem with it?

The 328/330 doesn't handle any worse than a 335. In fact, it's probably a bit more balanced. What do you base the idea that a Civic would outhandle it on?

I totally agree. What kills the 3 series speed is the auto tranny.

why does the OP keep getting pwned? I read some of his other threads about the 330 or 35 manifold upgrade, and it keeping up with a 335i and had a great dyno, but never came up with the dyno sheets or something.

K series is a high reving engine if you didn't know that. It will smoke a 328i,325i but not so sure about a 330i. You don't just look at HP.. power to weight ratio.. Bmw weigh as much as a boat.. its a fucking JDM car.. their shell is probably thinner than my CF splitters. Dont underestimate those things. You have a 335i you should be fine but if its boosted.. bye bye 335.

Considering you can break into a high 14 in a stock SI I'd like to say this is why most BMW guys are perceived to be the ultimate in douchebaggery. Especially considering the top 10 list of douche bag cars the 3 Series was on there because of the guys that drive them thinking they are either supremely fast or a high end caliber rival of a Bentley. If what was put in the original post was exactly what was said by YOU. I would say youre a tool box that might say the wrong thing to the wrong guy, either with a much faster car or on a night on the town. Knock out or lose the race. Both just may happen for ya

....I was laughing my ass off....
I forgot to mention... dude you have the lowest level of BMW you can buy in the US...

2006 325i: HP to weight ratio = 1hp per 15.2lbs

215hp/185tq @ 3285lbs

2006 Civic Si: HP to weight ratio = 1 hp per 14.6lbs

197hp/139 @ 2877lbs

oh and PS... youre an idiot

I have met more ignorant BMW drivers than I have met ricers and I drove JDM holy crap

See this man. In Singapore, this civic hauled ass over a GTR R-35. Impressive for a Civic. Then again, its just straight line.

I hope your not talking about the Mugen Si...that thing is actually slower than the coupe si. Owned one, nice car for the price but the Mugen Si was overpriced when the first came out. I wouldn't mind if they brought the Mugen RR to the states though. There was only 1 they did bring over and asking price was 90K
