In Reply to: Performance Question on 323ci(please input) posted by Alex on February 20, 2000 at 21:47:27:

Temperature was 50 degrees, DSC and climate control off, using Steptronic 'manual' shifting, just me in the car (220lbs.), tank a little below half full with Amoco Ultimate 93 octane, elevation a couple of hundred feet above sea level. Car is a 323Ci with steptronic and 1500 miles. Only had a chance for one run, but the G-Tech Pro recorded an 8.53 sec run. I thought it would do a bit better than that, but oh well. Traction is obviously not a problem, so I really think other runs would probably return the same result.

It's a far cry from the '98 Grand Prix GTP I had which would turn 6.03 sec. runs with the same G-Tech, but the BMW is so much better everywhere else that I really don't mind that much!

I was able to make a top speed run early the other morning on a totally open 4 lane highway. The speedometer indicated 130MPH when I guess the speed limiter came on. But the car was totally stable at this speed-it felt very comfortable although I was only there for a very short amount of time.

I am very happy with the car's perfomance-but a 330Ci or M3 would be nice also!
