I love the discussion that has formed from this. Interesting tangent.

At least we're keeping it interesting right?

Be careful over on BFc stirring shit. They will put you in TO for a week for calling a crackhead a crackhead.

No matter how they put it.... to me an E30 is still a legend..so e30 with m42 will make it an immortal legend.. huhuhu.....

I "upgraded" from a 95 318i to a 95 325is and the M42 wasn't as fast in a straight line, but it was a hell of a lot more fun to drive. I miss that car - don't miss the 325 at all.

Then I truly upgraded to an e30 M42. I'll take less weight and more HP in that order please.

just some idiots . They dont know nothing about m42 there engines is big as they mouth as for the e36 m42's (i am a e36 guy) THEY HAVE KNOCK SENSORS AND 6mm VALVE STEAM! so RESPECT THEM! as you respect every m42 engine around . E30 m42 are faster? i dont think so..... maybe is lighter but not faster

Having done the Oktoberfest DE in my 318is yesterday, I can vouch for how well balanced the car is. Sure it was lacking in the power department, compared to the mostly newer and I6's bimmers out in the track, but when it came to the tight turns that is where the lightness came into play. My instructor was amazed at how well the car handled.
Ripping through the track at red line almost the whole way, that is fun!

.......mmmm jessica alba vs jenna jamerson....m42 vs m20!my vote goes to jessica!!!wow!!!

Word

The M20 has rocker arms that break on the track....My M42 has 244 000km and I beat the shit out of it every time I go on the track and it has never let me down.

Jenna looks like a slut, Jessica looks nice.

My M42 cruises at 205 mph and goes 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds plus it can double as a submarine and was actually used by NASA as a lunar excursion vehicle. :p Thats why I bought it. :cool:

Oops! (BTW, I fixed the original post)
That is what happens when your other bimmer has a V8 in it.

the M42 has a way better hp per litre figure, its light, its noisy, its slow......but in the end; its hella fun to drive! wouldnt trade it for anything!

ps, ive never met a 325is owner that could "keep up" with me on some of the roads i live by, any takers?

hp per litre

Is the most pointless number unless you are Honda trying to show how great you are.

Unless you live in a country where you pay taxes based on it, who cares. Higher Hp per liter just means you spend more on your engine development. It has no bearing on anything else, and in fact usually consumes more gas doing it.

A more useful number is HP per pound, hp vs overall dimensions or hp vs mpg.

To be fair, most people on the forum rightfully flamed the dumbass.
