It does take a lot of extra power to get an extra 10MPH, especially when you get into the "bigger" numbers... Which is why I find it funny some peeps claim after a chip they can get an extra 20MPH out of their 318....

This has become a very hot topic :)
In my 328i I hit 60 in second gear at about 6000rpm.... now the reviews I have read they said they power past 60 in 2nd gear, yet I have to change gear to 3rd the moment i hit 60. Whats wrong? |

I have a go in mine, TBH I very rarely go past 5500 rpm.

Is this just before the pistons power past the cylinder head and thru the bonnet on their way into orbit? E36 M3 (5-gear) will just top 60 in second before you hit 7k rpm, so i just change gear. |

I've just been out in mine and it will do about 65mph in 2nd although this is at about 6500rpm just before the limiter cuts in. TBH I would normally change up at about 5500. |

6500 rpm?? Ouch. My cars rarely get past 4000 in any gear, no point revving that high in search of a couple of bhp so I prefer just to cruise up to speed. As for the bike, probably about 100 in second! |

Yikes! I don't really know anything about bikes to be honest, so perhaps I should have kept my uninformed views to myself. I'll stick with cars.

Sell it and buy a 330 or M3... I don't think it's economically viable to do anything else. HTH, James |

Whats difference between teh 328 and 330? As I heard they have same
size engine (the 2.8ltr inline 6). How have they managed to push an
extra 30 bhp out of the newer 330 model....

There's a truer (if that's a word!) speedo built into the computer (for those that have the full computer fitted!) Once you unlock the computer (Something to do with no.17 and adding the month and day of the date together I think - will check this if someone needs to know) It's test no.8. Quite suprising how much my car over-reads - at and indicated 70, I'm actually doing 64! |

I think somebody is telling you porkie pies Starfury, the 330 is a 3
litre straight 6, not a 2.8. The safest way to add this much
power to your 328 would be to supercharge it, that could take it down
to 6 seconds, but as it'd cost at least 5 grand I agree with
therealmccoy, buy a 330

Supercharger, Twin turbocharger and a 100 shot of Nitros it is then.
This should be fun :) |

Lack of mechanical sympathy! WTF. The 328 engine does not redline till 6200rpm. Occaisionally taking a cars engine to the redline and slightly beyond does not display a lack of mechanical sympathy. The engines are designed to be able to take it and infact multivalve engines are designed to be revved. After all whats the point of having variable timing that doesn't come in till 4K then changing up at 5k.

Go for a supercharger. 280bhp should be easy to obtain this way, all be it a little bit expensive. You will however end up with a car that will eat 330's for breakfast and in terms of bottom end/mid range grunt will be quicker than an M3. You will need bigger brakes and beefed up suspension as well though. |

Nice!
I wonder if that includes fitting? Also they have a ECU remap which gives extra 15hp. But need to send em ECU and it costs £675 |
