In Reply to: anyone know speed of `87 325 eta? posted by Tom on February 26, 2000 at 10:40:14:
: Firstly thanks to all who have answered my (probably) naïve questions about the 325e. Unfortunately the eta is fairly rare here in Europe and information is hard to come by. I will therefore ask some more questions! :
: 1) What is the official 0-60mph time for an unmodified manual `87 325e?
: 2) What is the official top speed?
: 3) What difference will a Dinan chip make to the above figures?
: 4) Is it true to say that such a chip upgrade pushes the engine harder in order to gain higher output, but in doing so increases the rate of engine wear?
: 5) And finally (phew!!) exactly what does a chip change involve (i.e. can an amateur like me change the chip at home)?
: Thanks once again,
: Tom.
I can't spit out acceleration times like a 15 year old magazine readin' moron but I can comment on the upgraded chips. They won't hurt your engine, no extra wear is involved. You can put the new one in yourself. You just gotta unscrew about 8 screws and pop out the stock chip. It's above the glove compartment. The guys at Dinan can give you instructions.
