WIBIMMERS

Took the hot rod out for a spin today while the 335xi is at the shop.

Put the e28 away yesterday.

2nd gear burnout

I thought you sold that car

Nope.  I threatened to a few years ago.  It's been sitting for 2+ years.  I finally fixed a radiator leak, installed a bigger turbo and a built T56.

Late 80s Vitus 979.  294 miles so far this month.  Pretty good mpg.

I never personally touched this car but I do know it quite well.  It has massive body rust.

Purchased 6 months ago.  Spent $$ on maintenance and then some basic mods/flash.  Car just works really well!  AWD and automatic is just awesome.  Custom tune being worked on and Comp Turbo upgrading some stock turbos which will be install next spring.  

815AM this morning on I41 S near Racine Ave.  A fella in a silver N55 powered 335M Sport slowed down and downshifted next to my lowly e90.  Can't remember the last time someone picked a race with me.  It's been many years.  Always the same result. haha  Even better is that I was dropping the car off to have the oil pan gasket replaced, upgraded twins and inlets installed.  It'll actually be fast next time someone picks on it.

Cool, I offered the PO $500 for that car 5 years ago.  At the time it was down near UWM.  Glad to see you bringing it back to life.

EURO E30 323i!

Pros: Euro! Sweet cloth sport seats! Cheap!

Cons: Rust. Automatic.

The biggest con being no telephone # and a seller that doesn't return emails.

So you're saying you lost the race.

Nope.  Pulled about 1.5 cars in a quick hwy pull.  Car is an xi so it doesn't run big mph. Ran 12.21 @ 112mph last fall

Well, looks like it goes just as fast as your M20 on 18psi, with more low end and not as high-strung. 

LS1 is actually pretty soft down low with a flat tq curve.  That's why it's doesn't spin the tires at 20mph in a 1st gear roll on.  Any cam and it'll become a top end motor.

Anyway, if the ad is still up in a couple weeks I might take a look at it and offer him half what he's asking. It's a decent parts car.

Still too much $$

I own a 1982 car and it's not CRAP.

Got it out of storage and starting fixing the minor issues so i can get it sold.

They had a higher output from the factory but they are about 100% more expensive to make go faster.  The 5.0 with gt40 heads, cam and an intake will put it around 300hp then you have the ridiculous aftermarket to make it even faster.  So much on the m60 has been optimized from the factory that your only options left are forced induction or a chip and cams which will cost quite a bit for minimal gains (chip and cams).  

Yeah a 300hp SBF typically has 350+tq so it's way faster than a m6x.

Nice! You've cut a better 60' than I ever have on my car with drag radials, lol.

It's not me.  It's the car.  I only have one better and one close on slicks.  e34 did a 1.58 and e28 did a 1.65  Both manual cars.

I have zero interest in a single turbo.  I wouldn't want to touch the drivability.
