    Default ATTN: anyone want to take out a slow BMW?

    This isn't a huge call out or by any means a fast car like some of these Vette's and turbo cars that dominate this section..but i'd like to chime in regardless of our slower car. Me and a buddy have a 1993 M50B25 325is with 170,000 miles, with gears and a tune and an intake and we'd like to see how it fairs against some other imports with bolt on's (I.e civics, preludes, hatches..whatever. We're really looking to see how the car does as we love how stout it is for a 2.5 but we can entertain small $ money runs for FUN..The car is all BMW and you can check the almost stock 2.5 under the hood if you don't believe us. It has full interior. We're looking for a good run to see what level this car is on before it gets something big

    We always like fun running...so if your at any of the meets and cars go out we can line up.. But i'm looking for quick imports that would give this BMW a tough fight or loss..not cars that trap 109 hah. We also have a LS1, cam'd, tuned, headers, no cats, intake etc GTO in the family so i'm pretty familiar with how they run.

    I'm all over Bimmerforums and at the meets. I am mainly at track events etc. but we put together this 325is and alot of people talk shit about 325's so we'd like to see how it runs against some imports for kicks. We rarely run the GTO but it wouldnt have a hard time putting a good pounding on a stock 6.0. Its about as fast as a C5 Z06

    depends on what mods the M has but i'm looking for jap imports as I drive an e36 m and can run him whenever. Most 325's won't touch even stock M's without F.I, 2600lbs and bolt ons or spray

    Yeah looked at his thread. Hopefully he'll be up for a clean run from a roll. We can do best of 3 or whichever and put some change down if he wants once we get some new front tires on the 325.

    I like that idea but outdriving whoever i'm racing plays a part so racing a slushbox would eliminate some of what i'm looking for. But hey come out whenever we get this thing set and we can do some fun pulls

    keep in mind the 325 is mostly all bmw. Stock exhaust, stock as hell. Just a tune, cat delete and home made intake and a limited slip

    I'd love to do this but everytime I mess around with someone with a WRX they seem to be alot faster then whatever their owners claim. 101 trap is a good amount over stock..pretty much/almost stock evo territory.

    It should definitely have decent torque, how much does it weigh? If it's near stock weight I know I can take it from a dig even with the gearbox i'm running...w/ a mild weight reduction and you'll probably be pretty much dead even but 30-90+mph runs i'd walk away

    SLushbox? such harsh words, would a 100 dollar bet change your mind at all about a race.

    negative because the auto still negates one of my only few advantages in the race to start with. I've run G's, and Sc's..and quite a few in my 540 so I know how they run and its not quite fair to a 93 99% all bmw 170k 325is if you know what i mean...think about the numbers.

    edit: my bad..
    Didn't know it was harsh and i guess it isn't in the lexi world but a slushbox bimmer is like a hot chick with downs over on bmw forums

    rocky is still ahead of me, we have to race again with this new setup, not much will change though. we'll see though, still got some issues with the clutch.

    the RSX I was talking about was alberts because i took an e36 325, but this e30 is lighter so who knows should be fun. if it happens
