Spotted/Followed - E92 Alpina last night (now X5/X6 chat)
On M2 southbound last night, there was a lovely looking Alpine E92 in black/graphite. Caught up with it and followed for a while at "ahem" mph... I don't know what version it was, it only has ALPINA on the back, twin exhaust on left hand side. He couldn't pull away from me (and I couldn't pass), so can't have been a full fat version.
Looked lovely though and enjoyed the short hoon... Last edited by biscuits; 07-22-2009 at 11:44 AM.. |

That'll be the D3 biturbo in E92 form if its got a pair of exhaust tips on the left hand side.

We were going up hill, both EXACTLY matched acceleration... maybe I would have gained a bit if going down hill Last edited by biscuits; 07-21-2009 at 07:13 AM.. Reason: MAKE THAT A 600KG DIFFERENCE, NOT 400KG ! |

What engine are you running?
The biturbo is 214bhp standard, about 240-250 remapped. Not many out there and even fewer that have been modified. Not bad for a 2.0 diesel!

I did a standing start last night and got the following: 0-60 mph - 6.05 sec (pre remap 7.90 sec) 60' - 2.10 sec @ 29mph 330' - 6.00 sec @ 58.4mph Max acceleration - 0.81 G's Not too bad for a 2,150kg 4x4 that's now returning 28.8mpg average |

Do another dynolicious run and if its even within 20% of those figures, you've done well

I have the evolve map (345bhp/730nm) on the X5 35d and I do not think it would have taken anywhere near 2 secs off the 0-60 time.
I got non-remapped times of 7 secs for 0-60 (using BEL FX2 accelerometer) and have not yet tried it with the map. I was thinking it would defo not be as low as 6 though. By your results I should be getting under 6 ???????

Almost identical time, 5.92 seconds. The best I could get out of the M3 if I remember correctly was 4.8x seconds... but there was always loads of wheel spin I recon the 50mph+ acceleration will be far better with the 35d as you get another 1,000rpm to play with... so would pull away well as the speed increases. I'm super impressed with the 30d engine though - sounds quite nice too |
