In Reply to: e36 328i (98) Sharked top speed - 245 km/h posted by Hagen on July 30, 2000 at 13:02:26:


Checked with calibrated radar gun.
converts to 150 mph.

Got to 225 very quickly and then took 1.5 laps of a 4 mile oval to get to 245.

Thnaks Jim C!

Other changes? Redline at 7500 (ask me how I know - big grin), 8-9 HP, ft-lbs, buttery smooth powerband over 3000 RPM, power right up to 7500 RPM (ie no power fall off).

Are you sure your redline is at 7500 rpm?
I just sharked my '96 328is and the engine shuts off at around 7000 rpm instead of 6500 rpm.
