Scottish guys up for 1/4 mile ?

evil_scooby · 01-23-2010, 05:58 PM

Just wondering if anyone fancied a wee drive up to Crail and see what the cars can do on the 1/4 mile. (or the oval if anyone fancies trying to drift)

Not had a chance to drive my 335d agressivly yet and curious what it will do.

Anyone else from Glasgow area ?

Martin 335d · 01-23-2010, 06:20 PM

Im curious as to what my 335 would do but seeing as its for sale perhaps not the wisest of ideas

jonnydrama · 01-24-2010, 02:11 AM

what are you replacing it with?

evil_scooby · 01-24-2010, 06:55 AM

Martin just pop up. Post up the times after you sell it lol
It might even change your mind abotu selling it

Chris335d · 01-24-2010, 07:37 AM

When are you thinking about going?

lesfinnie · 01-24-2010, 10:41 AM

Would love to go and

but looking at 300 mile round trip and 120 of that on the A96 which is a sod of a road

PeteJ · 01-24-2010, 12:54 PM

Sounds tempting however I think my 320d might be slightly out matched

A VW Transporter, something cheaper for clare and fingers crossed a new house

If I still have it, looking likely I'll probably come along for the crack

Pete, its all good fun so bring the 320d up and we can see the differences in times.

Chris, its on every two weeks. Maybe Sunday 28th Feb? Its the next big event so should be some other stuff going on as well for anyone that gets bored up going in a straight line.

In a 335d I'd be there in a flash but a 320d .... well lets face it, its crap in comparison.

dxb335d · 01-26-2010, 02:37 PM

320d is quick car, especially with a tune. Paul once ran a Focus ST close (2.5 turbo)

Yeah its definitely quick for what it is but this thread seems to be a 335d owners club :P

dxb335d · 01-26-2010, 02:45 PM

No not at all. They are just showing an interest. WHy not go have some fun and show up some Civic Type-R's mate!?

Should a remapped 320d (163) be able to take a type r? In standard trim its supposed to be 8.4s to 60mph. I'd be surprised if its gone sub 7s. Mine doesn't feel quite quick enough for that, although I have noticed the bmw feels slower than its actually going in comparison to other cars.

I'm hopefully getting a rolling road done this weekend to see what its actually putting out.

re-mapped you will give it a good run though mate!

Focus ST's and Type-R's usually do low 15's, thats what re-mapped 320d do!

Type-R 197HP no torque, yours 210+HP and shit load of torque!

I quite like the "BMW 320d's For Sale" at the bottom of the page!!

"One careful drag racer driver"

I'd really like to get a remap done before however I doubt that will happen for a few months!
