Wow, the headers really glo orange when it hits high power!

shragon · 10-20-2006, 05:32 PM

yep, love seeing glowing headers and brakes!

bearfoot · 10-21-2006, 12:27 PM

That's a very nice video:

Joker · 10-21-2006, 12:48 PM

Wroooaaammmm! Absolutely fantastic sound from that engine!

That is one serious car

:rocks:

I can now see why they never offered the same engine in my 320si especially when I see all that orange glow

The engine noise isn't far off what mine sounds like.

I love revving it hard to hear it - It also scares the living daylights out of other drivers when I overtake them

the production version is 174hp... I assume the one in the video is substantially higher... anyone know what that thing is putting out?

I wish there were a way we could save that video.

Robin Hood · 11-02-2006, 11:08 AM

You will be able to drive one, but from november 25th this year:
http://www.race-game.org/

E46 320Si 6 cylinder 275BHP and the E90 320i 4 potter 275BHP are in it. And the E30 M3 DTM 1987 as well...

nmulax · 11-02-2006, 11:30 AM

Good Lord!

E90T · 11-02-2006, 01:22 PM

How do you think the E90 335 would compare to the WTCC 2.0 275 HP? Which would be faster in a straight away?

0-60 in <4 secs I guess the WTCC car

but topspeed is only 245kmh, so I'll be 5kms faster then

The car only weighs 1140kgs including driver.

But with 500kg more on the 335i...................he is already braking for the next corner, while yours is still accelerating towards the same corner, so you are 5 km faster, I think in no time you are 5 km behind his tailpipe.......

That would be such a fun car on the track. RE: racing that against a 335. The extra weight on the 335 would kill you compared to that.

Jongie · 11-02-2006, 06:47 PM

hehehe those 2 Ro's . r u 2 guys twins , Ro bin & Ro mo ?

If u use firefox you can download an extension called "VideoDownloader". It adds a little butten in the right lower corner which enables you to download vids from google, youtube and many more sites. /OT off

I love the dirty sound right after start of the engine. I had once the opportunity to see and hear the E46 ETTC car with the 2l-inline6 engine. It was loud, fast, dirty... simply amazing.
