What is the 1/8 mile time for an Stock M3?
where I live the circuit is only for the 1/8 mile race... so I dont know the time for the 1/4.Originally posted by silverEL

that should be about a 14.9 1/4. A bit slower than it shold be if you ask me.
DO you have an m3 tranny or 325? how bout rear diff? Can you drive stick good?

The only things the car has is an M3 95 engine and the 97 M3 wheels. then everything is 325. icluding the tranny.
Does anybody know the 1/8 mile time for a M3 US Spec?
should be around 9.1 to 9.3

would an cone air box improve to that point.? and my service light is on red. would the service make it run faster? changing the oil. and all the filters?
What should be the first thing I should do to increase the power in my car. ?? It has a totally stock engine. no mods, I need a 0.5 secs improvement in a 1/8 mile track. What can I do?
U've asked this question a few times already....
Buy an m tranny ....then buy a supercharger....
also goto www.dtmpower.net where you can ask all the bmw questions you want, and will get alot of answers there.
But do a search first, because i'm sure its been asked a 100times over there
an engine swap into a 325 does not make it an m3...not even closeOriginally posted by tegdream

a big afm kit usually gives you a good gain

Im really sorry if I bothered you with my questions... but the thigs I dont have 4.000 $ for a supercharger.... or a turbo..so I want to Know what can I do to improve 0.3 or more secs in an 1/8 mile that doesnt involve spending a lot of money. like air filter o chips... I want to know If anything cheap can buy me those fractions o a sec. I´m really sorry.
i wasnt bothered, i was refering to how you can keep it in the same thread, instead of bringing it up in 3 or more threads, hence why the admins merged it...you didnt say anything about price you just say make my car faster...
I bet even getting a new tranny, like i've been telling you and you seem to ignore, could help with your timing, not sure the exact numbers from 325 - M , but since M tranny is for the M, well its obviously there for a reason....Try the other bmw websites, see what they say...they will know best.
first of all... get a M3 diff because it had LSD. that will help you ALLOT. second a m3 tranny should help a bit too... not too much but better.
m3 tranny can take way more power than a 325 tranny
for cheap power: pulleys, exhaust, headers, chip
