Bimmer woulda won either way, no doubt. #### the f**king Nissan speed governors
did u race him from a start? how was it going in the beginning if u did?
I did really well when racing a 1999 or 2000 323CI.. I dont imagine the 325 being THAT much faster.. its not a turbo or SC where the speed kicks instantly.
Just kill the governor if you like to race that high..

323i and the 325i are the same thing. bmw used the same 2.5 I-6 in both cars, however, for reasons unknown to most people, they use whacky nomenclature.

My buddy has a '92 (methinks) 325. We have raced a couple of times all with the same result. I lead through 1st and 2nd. When 3rd comes around he slowly gains until he has full control. However not a blowout by any means the 325 is the better car.
Hmm.. thats weird, I thought the 323 was a 2.3L and the 325 is obviously 2.5 - maybe not. Weird. BMW is silly. :)
I like the performance aspect of BMW cars. They are very responsive considering they're Mercedes competition. I mean, Mercedes is just a mess behind the wheel.. too much play and not enough sportiness.
The 3-series is okay in my book.. I would just never own one. Too expensive to maintain..

Called the 2.5 liters the 323 for marketing reasons, and dropped the output to 168 hp.. The 2.5 325 was 190 HP, while the 2.8 328s were 193 HP... Would you buy a 193 HP 328 over a 190 HP 323?
Once the 330s came out, the 325 is back.. and at 190(I think) HP. . =)
You shouldn't have a problem beating a 325. I haven't yet. But the last guy might have been a bad driver, cause I'm sure it was a manual, and I raced from a dead stop. But I was driving nismo270r's mom's 95 325i convertible (top down, so x-tra drag to consider) against his 96 S14. . I couldn't catch him! Even at speeds over 100 mph. Maybe a coupe? I dunno... But we had fun haha

Yeah. . u have to cut a wire comin from the ECU and unplug the sensors on 4th and 5th gear. . I think maybe just buying a revspeed meter from Apex'i might do it too.. #### I dunno. .
but our top speed with KA24DE is 145-156 mph. . =)
top speed of a police interceptor, unless this has changed is 125 mph. . haha
see what I'm stabbing at?

Good luck out-running the ghetto bird bro.. :)

hey! speaking of that, my uncle a while ago had a police interceptor interceptor (yes, i said it twice). he said that by placing it in his, he's never been caught from having the uncapped the limitter... i think it was a 300zx or a bimmer.... i dunno, he had a sh*t load of sport cars.

oh yeah.... and if "i did" uncap the limitter, are you able to buy new speedometer gauge (w/ 140mph+ limit)? hehe.
