Lurking and spying the E92
Hello,
I've been massaging the idea of buying a project car and gutting it. Fat tires, roll cage (maybe) two seater. I loooove that there's a V8 M3. I know it's not the fastest car in the world, but I also realize that fast is not the whole thing. That said, how "fast" in a straight line can one make an E92? What are some stout HP/0-60 numbers you guys have recorded? Mods to achieve? I'm considering E92 or Sl36 (M156).. |

0-60 or 1/4 miles times are not what the car is about. really, if you care about these stats, you will be dissapointed. your x5m can destroy an e92 m3 in a straight line.

The E92 M3 has alot of potential today, You can run high 11's in the quarter mile with a fbo m3 gutted on e85. 60-130 times you can pull high 10's as well. It would be much faster than a stock sl63 or a stock header tune catless sl63. I had a e90 m3 dct and have slips, verified draggy runs & videos of roll racing m156 cars

If I can get enough power out of it to satisfy the butt dyno but also have all the other amazing characteristics of the car, that would be a dream machine. |

Go with the E92 M3, you won't be disappointed!! Like the M156, you'll really want to rev it out both for the symphony and the power up top. Hit me up if you want to chat about it
BTW, congrats on your new X5M, your old one is still running strong, I already put 12k miles on it

Fast in a straight line is a function of how much money you are willing to shell out. Ditch the V8 and strap a turbine to the car, sounds more exotic imo, that'll get you moving quick along with gutting the car like you mention.
Search, plenty of threads on mods already, the platform has only been around ~12 yrs. |
