In my 85 325e, I have managed to pull sub 8-sec passes, yes just under 8 seconds, according to my G-tech dyno on a dash. The car has been equipped with a JC chip, custom exhaust and a BMC air intake. Pretty fast for such small mods. I have also ran a best time of 15.2 in the quarter at Rockingham in November of 99' I got a few runs on tape that day, but of course just a timeslip for my best time of a low 15. Drag radials helped a lot with the mounds of torque the car exhinited. I have also measured 145 at the rear wheels on the GTech, which probably means around 180 or more at the crank. Just thought I would snoot about the great speed potential of "e" motors if properly tuned. Of course I have some backyard techniques such as taking out the headlight, which netted consistent .10 seconds being shaved off the quarter times. Gotta go!
