Default Raced an M-roadster

It was the z3 body style, not the newer z4 because we all know how that wouldve ended lol. Anyway it was an older guy so I honestly wasn't even expecting a race and then as soon as the light turned green I heard some screeching and a set of those sweet deep dish m wheels ride up next to my door. I switch to attack mode and we end up going to about 80 with him holding that position. His rear wheels at my door. We exchanged thumbs up and cruised home. It was kinda of funny it was him, an audi tt convert, and my S in a line through the s turns. All silver and all with the tops down haha.

Must've been an S52 M roady (the 240hp version).


A newer Z3 M (01-02) with an S54 would smoke ya!



Good kill, though. Those s52s have a lot of torque.

Yeah it definitely wouldve had to been the 240hp version. We're looking to swap either that or the s50 motor into my friends 87 325i. Heres a pic of his car for you BM

Thanks for the pic. Those e30s are timeless.



You might want to swap an s50 or s52 and add the proper body panels and have yourself a nice looking M3 replica

depends on whether its the new 3.0i, or the 3.0si. Si would be neck and neck, but you'd have to drive your S well. 3.0i shouldn't be a problem for the S.

i remember when i had a blown alpine white E36 5mt...

a E30 (sleeper) crept up on my tail

At that point it was approx 2.30 am on Brookhurst heading south

I gun it at 3rd gear and proceed to take lead...but all of a sudden i hear some exhaust tune over mine and my exhaust was pretty f.ing loud in WOT. The blk E30 flies past me...i was like wtf...he must have been going at least 120 mph to pass me...i was hitting 90mph...we both stop at the red on adams and gave him a thumbs up... Turned out he had the same engine as me in the E30 with a custom turbo...
