E36 BMW 325I 1994
I recently changed my cars engine from a 325 to 328, i made 121kw and 221nm on the wheels with the 325. Now i make 144kw and 249nm on the wheels.
My 1/4 mile on the 325 was 15.9
My 1/4 mile on the 328 is 15.2 today at smile raceway in Bronkhorstspruit.

There were an E46 M3 which only did 14.8 i am only 0.3 sec behind not bad considering the big difference between the two.

I am fairly happy seeing that I haven't opened the motor yet. Just chip and exhaust.

not a csl it was a stock E46 M3.. and yes 14.8.. 2 other E36 M3 3.2's ran 15.3 and 15.4..
you can even ask KOBUS325i on this forum he ran a 15.4 with his RGM stage 1 3.2 M3 on that track and springboks modded 3.2 ran a 15.1..

Thats a lot for a 328.

My 540i has only 165kw on the wheels.
I'm taking my car for exhaust and chip within the next 6 months.

No bud not sleeping that is what E46's does on that track! are you going to come race there on the next event? would be interesing to see what a 13.8s Tarlton car does on smile!

That must be the worst track in the history of tracks. Is it a 30 degree uphill covered in ice ?

Even at Wesbank raceway (which had KAK traction) E46 M3's would do 14.1 14.2, and E36's would be doing 14.5's etc.

Smile is way slower track than Westbank was.. i was 0.4 faster on Westbank with my golf than on Smile! The times you ran on tarlton i run on Smile with my E36 M3.. so its not that a slow track! its not that far from JHB so come have a couple of runs on smile!
