I think most of our cars are already faster than that

But that touring looks badass and the larger diesel respondes very well to modifications too.

Its not a larger diesel, just more turbos.

[335dsleeper]

Correct, my mistake.

Nice conversion but old news. Read about almost a year ago....
Could be interesting to see how much power could be made from that engine though.....racechip promise approx 470hp with box tuning.....

I feel that at the rate BMW has been going, they're going to end up discovering the most efficient setup is a one turbo per cylinder ratio, with varying turbo sizes.

I doubt that.

"This estate BMW started life as an ordinary, fairly-potent 330d, but now it can sprint from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in just 4.9 seconds and all the way to a limited top speed of 296 kmph/184 mph. Why? Because BBM Motorsport fitted the 3-Series Touring with the tri-turbocharged, 3.0-litre mill found on the M550d. "

Considering our cars can make that same sprint in 6 seconds stock, I'm fiarly sure any tune Stage 2 or higher will beat it out. Add in other performance goodies and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if someone could whip up on one of these. Most? Probably not. But a good portion of us are tuned.

On full stock exhaust with jbd and meth mine went 4.2s 0-60. With full deletes and tune should be in that range or better.

[335dsleeper]

How did you measure 0-60? Log or calculator?

Calc from drag timeslip from a couple slips i had at the time

[nicklockard]

They're at 0-62 in 4.9 seconds with a much heavier car.

Repeat your runs with your car at 4608 lbs wet weight (no fair counting your body weight) , and then we'll be impressed


Edit to add: on street tires: "...Z-Performance 19-inch ZP10 rims wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires."

[Hoooper]

Why does it weigh so much? The f30 wagon weighed under 4000 lbs, they are only up to about 100 lbs more than the d is if you go by advertised numbers.

My run was on street tires.

I can't repeat it anyway unless I put in a ton of work in since I don't have full stock exhaust anymore nor a jbd to pair to it

...

I must be missing something ... didn't that car, in its heaviest trim (automatic X drive), weight in at only 1705kg, or 3760 lbs?
https://www.auto-data.net/en/?f=showCar&car_id=20751

1705 kg is less than the weight of the NA version of the 335d. How did they add ~850 lbs with the engine swap?

[nicklockard]

Sorry guys, I was wrong--I'd grabbed the wrong weight. I don't know how much heavier the 550d engine is.

Diesel on

..but I still want to see the slips for 0-62 in 4.9 seconds, on street tires. Proof or it's just internet bluster.

Does a street legal DOT drag radial count? It's a legal "street tire" :-)

Hehe, nice find of a loophole Wyse.

No, be legit and use tires equivalent to Michelin Pilot Sports like he does (which are amazing street tires, IMO.)

[Hoooper]

Here's one I found in old pictures. I know that it's on jbd and meth with 265/35 r18 continental dw tires based on the carpet on the background. Calculator says 4.17 0-60, I'm sure there are other calculators around which would give some numbers possibly higher and lower but I'm sure none as high as 4.9.
