The 328 engine does not redline till 6200rpm. Occaisionally taking a cars engine to the redline and slightly beyond does not display a lack of mechanical sympathy. The engines are designed to be able to take it and infact multivalve engines are designed to be revved. After all whats the point of having variable timing that doesn't come in till 4K then changing up at 5k.

 

Calm down Peter!

As you said you wouldnt normally rev the car that hard and I wasnt implying you did, but to achieve 60in 2nd you took it past its normal peak power point where you would naturally change up IE , a litlle bit of mechanical unsympathy!!

And I agree it doesnt "hurt" a well maintained car now and again..

the 'busa ran to 125 in second , with some wheelspin on the change into 3rd(which is good for an indicated 150MPH)..and near as damit double the MPG of the 535 for an "extra" journey speed of between 30 and 90MPH ..Figure that one out!

I wonder if that includes fitting?

Also they have a ECU remap which gives extra 15hp. But need to send em ECU and it costs £675

Go for a supercharger. 280bhp should be easy to obtain this way, all be it a little bit expensive. You will however end up with a car that will eat 330's for breakfast and in terms of bottom end/mid range grunt will be quicker than an M3. You will need bigger brakes and beefed up suspension as well though.

lolololol  is that on the back wheel or not??? do i think correctly  have you the hiyabusa??? if so 100mph in second  no probs

 

I think somebody is telling you porkie pies Starfury, the 330 is a 3 litre straight 6, not a 2.8.  The safest way to add this much power to your 328 would be to supercharge it, that could take it down to 6 seconds, but as it'd cost at least 5 grand I agree with therealmccoy, buy a 330 

Whats difference between teh 328 and 330? As I heard they have same size engine (the 2.8ltr inline 6). How have they managed to push an extra 30 bhp out of the newer 330 model....

So whats the best way to get my E46/M52TU (I think its that) 328i SE Saloon's 0-60 time from 7 seconds down to 5 to 6 seconds?
Without causing any major problems

 Doive, quite a few bikes do over 100 in first now mate...

 

 

 

See, Star fury, itll do it, you just need Peters mechanical lack of sympathy...!
