I agree with Ash,

i really dont see how by just adding E85, you can take a great -7 result like 325awkw ^^ on pump and make it go 370 plus on other cars

at the end of the day, if you have the MPH we really cant argue

I never thought I'd get anywhere near 370 with -7s but I was wondering if 350 was too much to ask for.

I'm not too sure what GT-R's are like with power to mph as I've just come from an XR6 Turbo that ran 118 mph with 297rwkw. If I could get around that sort of mph I'd be pretty happy.

350 would be the norm result and somewhere around 120-123mph should be a good goal. Cams will stretch you out further. im a strict 98 no cams believer but add E85 into the equation and MILD cams are a viable addition.

Well that was what I was hoping to here. 350 and 120mph would be about my goal. Not willing to change cams. I've spent enough money for the moment.

Also what times would i be looking at with 120mph? High 11s?

350rwkw in a R32 GTR would see you closer to 124/125mph, this would be low 11s easily.

In my 33 GTR which is heavier, i ran 123mph with 340rwkw and 11.3

I'd be over the moon to run that time and mph but i'm a bit more realistic and would be happy with a high 11.

Any idea whether a 3" exhaust would be holding me back at this stage and whether upgrading to a 3.5" would be of much benefit?

    • 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.
