Well I believe some peolple have gotten them to mid tens, that should sufficiently kill an E46 M3

you can get anything into the 10's all it takes is a lot of money.

One is in the high 9s. I am talking about street tires here though. It won't take much to break into the low twelves, but the 11s will need a shortblock.

They are like 4600 pounds or so. 380 HP, 450ft.lbs stock, at the crank.
not sure about 0-60, but top speed is like 148. They are all autos.


I like them alot though, I am hoping to get one soon.

I have an 00 lighting (chip, sc pulley, exhaust, intake) and normally it will take a e46 m3 off the line but on the hw its toasted(above 100, 60-100 its a horse race). My friend has a e46 m3 and we've dicked around with them. Off the line the lighting takes it. Gteched we've gotten 4.7s out of the truck and 4.9s out of the m3. Stupid truck gets 11mpg. I only drive it for work and taking my dirtbike out otherwise its no question whether or not to take the bmw. I think a great combo would be to have a lighting and a m3. Nice race man!
