Default Estimate my 1/4 time on my Bimmer.

Maybe you guys can help me out since there are alot of modded cars on here. I am gonna give full specs including gear ratios, HP, weight with me in the car and other specs. I'm not looking for a exact time, just a estimate.

Alrighty, the car is stock aside from the Bavarian Autosport chip that raises the HP to 181hp and Torque to 177. Redline is also raised to 6900rpm.

M20 2494cc SOHC belt-driven inline 6, 2 valves/cylinder, cast crankshaft
168 (now 181) hp @ 5800 RPM
164 (now 177) lb-ft torque @ 4300 RPM
Compression ratio: 8.8:1
Bore/stroke: 84x75 mm

5-speed Getrag 260 (manual)
Ratios:1 (1/2/3/4/5/R): 3.83 / 2.20 / 1.40 / 1.00 / 0.81 / 3.71
Final Drive - 3.73:1
Weight distribution, F/R: 53%/47%
Weight with me in the car - 3048 lbs (2811 without)

So any guesstimates?

It all depends on how good you can drive a stick IMO.


You told me to estimate what your car will do, I did.

I'm with Hans...

It'* a 19 year old car. Unless it'* in tip-top running condition, I wouldn't expect to see the 15.7.

x2

I ran my bonnie with a K&N and a flowmaster muffler and still only ran mid 16'*. The car is rated at 16.1 from the factory, but (at the time) it was 12 years old and age isn't a cars friend
