Just tried this out to see what performance i would get
(all of the below under controlled conditions) from standing start on level surface, dry windless morning. In 4th gear from a standing start, accelerate to 135mph which is about 6500 rpm. This was done in less than 1 km. I will put a stop watch on next time. This is with a E-46 330Ci with 9000mls on the clock, the six speed box has made the 4th gear ratio a very usefull, better than previouse 5 speed version. |

The 6 speed box has made the engine more flexible. The trottle responce is also much improved. On the previouse (2001)model there was a noticable lack of feel from the the trottle, balanceing the car on power in a corner was some what vague. The tyres are Michelin Pilot sport, their fine, I have the 245/240 front rear combination which gives more traction for back end. |
