Just barely. I havent seen very many straight 6s been pulled off in them.
If you want something just retarded fast and don't care. Get a mighty max motor (rwd 4g63) build it, put on a big turbo and have 600 to the wheels.
There is a guy on galantvr4.org named bimmubishi who has a 91 318i with that setup putting about 350 to the wheels. Parts are easy to come by and that motor is indestructable. I beat on mine with a cracked turbine housing and shitty tune with no worries. Brent Rau is the fastest 4 cyl with that setup too.
I dont know to just go really fast I dont think the 2002 is best candidate. Quick and nimble with great stopping, yes. 600hp beast? Um I don't know.
Also is this the first turbo car you would have? The BMW is the first NA car i've ever had and I kinda like it.
There is a few 500-600hp 2002'sI'm just looking for a reliable 300hp! It will be beat to death at track days and drift events.
Plan is to form a simple one piece carbon fiber dash across the width of the car only containing the necessary [VDO] guages and switches. A digital cluster would be perfect but not for the $1,500+ price they runOn the passenger side of the dash i want remote resovoirs for the fluids and I'd love to have floor actuated pedals and i think i know where a complete setup is
Probably put a Momo cup seat in it (there's a spare at the shop) and due to my height i want it just about sitting on the floor with only some sort of energy absorbing polyurethane bushings inbetween...just salvage those from some retired motor mountsAll the interior should be sprayed a plain semi-gloss grey or satin black with only carbon fiber and/or aluminum details and a bucket full of rivets to put it all together...i think too much, i really should try sleeping

You just want 300 hp? That's not scary fast! Even with the weight, it wont transfer like a blistering fast car since it will be spinning. Once it hooks up, 300 wont be Vette killing or anything.There is a few 500-600hp 2002's

Stick with a 4cyl turbo setup then. Build an M10 and do a blow through turbo carb setup or round up a tii injected motor and do the same thing.
Depending on the gear ratio's there's no reason it shouldn't walk all over a 'vette...It all depends on prices, we'll see...
With a 4.10 rear and 300 whp it would be close to a c5 z06, close, but not putting bus lenghts on.
You're gonna hate me...i just found out 5 minutes ago it already has a M10 in it with 5 speed tranny and less than 2k miles after complete rebuild. The windows seals need to be replaced and after pulling the radio out something goofy was going on with the gauges. It's a '76.
*edit* forgot to mention its the 318i 1.8l [obviously]
