View Full Version : 328is vs 318is, surprised
Eraser69 01-22-2006, 03:21 PM Being in my friends RX7 thinkin' it aint worth racing any BMWs we were watchin 2 other friends racing off the lights. One being 318is 1.9 intake and exhaust mods and other 328is. Amber, green, off they go up to 70mph and the 328 is only one carlength infront?!?!? WTF, I'm impressed that 318is could keep up......................
awahl63 01-22-2006, 03:24 PM that is pretty good for the lil 318...are they both manual?
Eraser69 01-22-2006, 03:27 PM Yes, both manual. One carlength ahead meaning bumper to bumper btw.
brownsound 01-22-2006, 03:44 PM Yes, both manual. One carlength ahead meaning bumper to bumper btw.
:confused :confused
wouldn't one carlength in front mean the 328 was a CARLENGTH in front of the 318? Anyway, props to the 318!
Edit: I've always contemplated putting a 318 badge on the 328, but never really went through with it. If I had an M3, I would definitely do it.
brownsound 01-22-2006, 03:46 PM Oh, 318's front bumper and 328's rear?? Still confused.
NOCTURNAL 01-22-2006, 03:59 PM man... i have a 318 and im hella surprised that the race turned out like that.
I always race my brother in his 325 and he always smokes me, but then again he has an exhaust and debaffled air intake and im all stock (both automatic).
Regardless he'll still beat me.
awahl63 01-22-2006, 04:07 PM Oh, 318's front bumper and 328's rear?? Still confused.
yes tip of the 318's front bumper to the tip of the 328's rear
hwl328is 01-22-2006, 05:59 PM well that proves that just because you have the faster car, if you cant drive it, it aint fast!
ChaseBimmer 01-22-2006, 06:01 PM bad driver.. 318 should be a bus length behind.
Alpine 318is 01-22-2006, 06:09 PM bad driver.. 318 should be a bus length behind.
for sure. i get owned by my friends 325

i believe that was more evident in armo's post about the trans am...

Agree!!! I know a SC'd 318 would make it a good race, but stock??? C'mon! Props to the 318.
cutncheese 01-23-2006, 12:10 AM It probally had a bit to do with driver skill, a 318 with only a few bolton mods wouldn't be able to keep up that well. While the 318 is a suprisingly quick car its not that quick. But props to the 318is driver!!!

slocar 01-23-2006, 12:21 PM Only time this makes sense is if the 328 started in first then missed 2nd, and went to 4th ...
