I think I like the F80 better. From the side at least.

one would seem to perhaps think torque does matter.

F80 should bet a better platform for tuners. Because turbo

 

[YoushallgoFo]

woulda been cooler if it was a bi-turbo 4.0L V8

These are official numbers?

 

[Mook]

Not sure. Another article I read said 413 for tq.

 

[Turk]

Those seem very high for an e90. An e92 hit 60 in 3.9 seconds, same as this f80. So apparently torque doesn't matter.

 

[Yaj Yak]

based off their numbers it looks like it does


:ming:

The same 0 to 60? Doesn't look like it to me.

 

[Yaj Yak]

the car with more torque here looks quicker... no?

 

[Turk]

Btw. E92 was 18 seconds faster than the e46 around the ring, BMW is claiming this car is a whopping 10 seconds faster than the e92. Not a lot of progress IMO over 7 years.

 

[Turk]

The e90 was much faster than that. Look it up.

 

[Mook]

10 seconds faster than the car its replacing isnt good? Especially when there arent HUGE changes? Wut?

soooo no answer there then?

 

[Yaj Yak]

10 seconds is a lot to me

Did you not see my reply? I said those times are inaccurate.

Exactly. No huge changes, that's the problem!

 

[Mook]

And its still 10 seconds faster...

Maybe that new motor IS a big enough change

they sound pretty accurate to me. they made a graph even.

Based on what experience?
