I had my r31 dynoed at Goodguys in bayswater and got 160rwkw @ 12psi and I know my car is probably good for low to mid 14's..

Take it to the track, see what sorta MPH you get

170rwkw for a high 13? i dunno about that...

i only have 142rw according to goodguys and sam ran a 14.08 @ 93MPH running 10psi. When it was on the dyno it was running 14psi... i guess its more the driver than power.

OKay your results at the 1/4 mile depends on the driver/conditions/mods/experience etc...with dyno results when your getting shit tuned and added to your car...stick with one workshop then u know how it rates in the kw scene..if u want high readings go to AVO and see what thier dyno reads..they are know for high readouts...like mentioned rwkw dosent always mean alot it depends how u use it and put it down to the ground..

tuner also have different styles of how they like to tune sometimes that ask u sometimes they dont... u can tune your car to be reliable and have great responce or u can have it tuned to its full poetenital thoe risking reliablilty depends on what u want and what the tuner and do for u.

ive got some house paint somewhere u wot have to take it i will bring it to u with a roller... u want 2 fat stripes down the middle or just one? :)

Today just dynoed at BMT, had some dramas coz one of my coil packs did not work above 10psi so at 9psi made abt 147rwkw mods r:

SAFC2

ITC

3" 5 zigen exhaust system cat back

apexi pod filter

ARC FMIC

tomorrow gonna fix up the coil packs and up the boost to 13psi. Will let u guys know the figures

cool man i think my car is running 11 or 13 with 141rwkw at bmt dyno. mods are

SAFC (1 :D)

i have no idea what an ITC is lol

3.5" HKS superdragger cat back with 3" hiflow cat and front pipe

k&n filter

and thats it with power mods i think once your coil packs work and use more boost you should get more power me thinks.

should be good to find out what the results are

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
