What's the fastest you ever drove in your E36 and have you won against a race and which car? 328i, fastest I ever been is 138mph on the highway at night with no cars near by, raced 2 times and won, was a Honda Civic and Honda Accord, also there were no cars where we were, not going to be doing it anymore considering my car has it's age, and losing my license isn't really worth it, I just wanted to test how the car was capable of. For a car in the 90s, these things must have owned the road, with cars with newer technology, most cars have amazing performance.

138 on a public road is stupid and irresponsible.

It's not stupid. It's not irresponsible. These cars were MADE for those speeds. Ever hear of a little thing called the "Autobahn"??

You know what's stupid and irresponsible? America's lackadaisical approach to driver education, and our asinine speed limits that cater to poor, distracted drivers with improper equipment.

Oh, and talking about street racing on a public forum ;)

...

And to the PO, just got the E36 and it's out of shape, so only taken it up to 70. Now the S4 is a different matter altogether :evil2

Agreed.

Which is one reason why 138mph on a public road in the US is irresponsible.
Our cars may have been perfectly capable of those speeds when new, but they're 15-20yrs old now. Even when new it was pushing the vehicles limits.

Unless the suspension, brakes, subframe, tires, etc. are in perfect shape it's an accident waiting to happen. There's no recovering from a miscalculation or equipment failure at those speeds.

Not to mention, we don't have the autobahn over here. If there were other cars on the road, most drivers wouldn't be expecting or know how to react to a car traveling at those speeds.

Save it for the track

It is stupid, and it is irresponsible. Every other car on the road is going half your speed, and all it takes is someone to change lanes unexpectedly. Doing it at night is similarly ridiculous, since you'll have zero time to react to a sudden deer crossing/etc.

Also, maybe the E36 was made to go fast from time to time, but if not 100% maintained and equipped with higher speed tires, you're no safer than anything else on the road.

138mph on the highway at 12AM on the way home from work.

Before I began to drive fast, I test how my car handles in a lot of ways besides in the snow.

In the rain, I purposely drifted to see how I can handle my car.

Going 65mph on a highway exit, drifted it like a boss.

Switching lanes violently at 80-90mph

These cars are absolutely amazing, I never ever drove a car that was fast and handle like the E36.

No I would not crash like that kid in the photo, I learn to handle the car I drive before I do rough play. Looks like that kid took his dad's car for a quick run...

I have a 1997 328i that's in decent running shape, but I notice there is more maintenance issues that I have to fix, paint rot/rust, balljoints/bushings, cooling system, power steering lines. Is it worth the trouble with 236k miles to keep fixing it, and returning it to showroom condition? If the motor dies, is it worth rebuilding/replacing? This is my first E36 and I'm loving the car so much, and as I see more and more things to fix, it's starting to make me think to go to a better condition BMW, I can't buy a E46 since my insurance is high because only 19years old, it would be like buying a car almost every year and I rather not do that. Would love to here anyone's E36 rebuilding story and if it was worth it.

I honestly hope I am never on or near the same road as you.

I drive like a douchebag sometimes, but your level of douche far surpasses anything I would do on a public road. Also, I think a newer civic SI or even a plain v6 accord would give you a run for you money to be honest. Also... on a public road, its not the driver skill that prevents you from crashing. There are too many variables and things that can happen. Also, I feel like driving a car at the limit doesn't make you a good driver. Maybe after a few years... but even then, I feel that GOOD drivers are the ones that know when to take it to the track. Ah, the joys of being 19 and feeling invincible.

That being said, the fastest I've been was maybe 95-100 in a very short burst overtaking a car on a 2 lane highway. I don't plan on going any faster... I'm mechanically limited to ~115 anyways

Now I hate that I was "defending" the PO. From his f/u post, it certainly sounds like he is stupid and irresponsible.

I do stand by my original post however. These cars are meant to be driven hard/fast, and America sucks at the driving.

Sure, other drivers are not going to know how to react, but they're not even going to see you coming at that speed (hell, they don't notice you approaching at 80). I'm relying on my own reactions and skills...looking ahead, gauging other cars' attitudes to predict their actions, braking/accelerating when necessary.

With proper care and maintenance (and road conditions), I have no problem cruising the interstate at 140. Not in my current bucket, that's for sure. It's so floaty I would barely feel safe at any speed on a wet road.

There is no point in chastising the OP. We aren't going to teach him any lessons on a forum. I've done some stupid things growing up. We all have!

I tach'd out at 159mph in this car and that was GPS'd. I think I did about 140 in my old 328is a few times and I scraped 150 in my e46 323i. My 332 could definitely keep on going if it weren't for my 3.38 rear end. She pulled nicely right up to 159 where I hit 7000.

I've raced a lot of times lol. I've killed a heavily modified RSX type-S, a supercharged ford lightning, two 335 sedans, Hyundai Genesis R-spec, several E36 M3s, my buddy's old E46 328, a new V6 Honda accord coupe that was mod'd...that's off the top of my head. Also, a ford focus svt and the dude snapped a front half shaft launching...when I took off from an idle :rofl It killed itself. I typically don't bother with cars that I know are going to mop the floor with me, but I raced my friend's E39 M5 a couple weeks ago and he pulled me a good two to three car lengths from 40-100ish. I was disappointed up until I found out they hang with E9x M3s. Then, I didn't feel so humiliated :rofl

If I've run someone, I've made sure to let off at around 130-140. I'm not comfortable with racing someone on public roads over those speeds. Potholes, bumps, etc. are no good at those speeds. Most potholes you will go clean over at those speeds, due to how quickly you are traveling and the amount of time it takes for the shock to decompress and allow the tire to drop into the crater...but still. It's not worth it. I typically don't race at night either, because you can't see far enough ahead for those speeds in terms of any road obstructions or police. Even with a laser jammer, a cop can figure with his eyes that you are hauling ass, when you are hauling ass. He may not be able to distinguish 120 from 140, but it will be blatantly obvious to him that you are going well over 100mph.

Anytime I partook, I did it with next to nobody around. But, even with no one around, I'm all set with racing another car over those speeds. The instance in which I tach'd out at 159, was when I was racing my friend's carb'd GSX-R. I'll run bikes as long as they're not newer 600s. Pretty much anything over 600cc or anything fuel injected is a waste of gas, because I know they are going to blow me away. He tach'd out in sixth though, four cars or so ahead of me at ~170. It would have been closer if I didn't have a 200lb passenger that evening.

Now I'm getting a little older, getting into my mid-twenties and can't afford massive tickets, court, going to jail for a night or weekend, etc. It is just not worth it. When I was younger, the laws were much different in Massachusetts. You would get caught racing, receive a fine, and not get arrested. Today they'll slap you with ten violations, a couple felonies, and a few grand in fines. Not to mention the year or more that you could lose your license. It is no joking matter. I'm also very lucky to be alive, several times over and can't really get any more concussions...so the times when I am willing to rip along are getting very rare. In a street prepped E36 with coilovers and decent tires, any mistake you make going ~120 or greater, is going to land you in a lot of trouble and pain. ...And more often than not, any accident in an E36 at over 110-120mph is going to equal an insta-kill for anyone in the front seats. E36 A pillars fold like tooth picks. I had a friend who got into an oversteer situation on a bend in the freeway...he went off the road, went into the woods at about 90-100mph and you wouldn't have even known it was a BMW, never mind an E36, if it weren't for one roundel that was left on a wheel. He killed himself and the girl in the passenger seat. I don't even think she was 18 years old yet. The guy in the back seat is still alive and he gets to remember that sequence of events for the rest of his life. His was the last funeral I will attend for a very long time.

Now that was going off the road at merely 90-100mph. The fun has not even begun at those speeds yet. But, this is what happens in a car with safety features that were introduced in the late 80s/early 90s. I've been in wrecks at those speeds and it is not fun. Before you go those speeds again, think about your family crying as they lower your lacerated body into a grave or being in a diaper for the rest of your life, forcing your mother to quit her job and take care of you until she is in a diaper, too. And then what, you know? I know we all do some stupid things, but as I said...make a mistake at the speeds you are talking and know that you are dead, no question about it. All it takes is missing something as you blink. And if you have a tire let go, or a shock mount, or bother trusting an old ass car that probably isn't quite up to par, mechanically speaking...you are playing with the devil.

A lot of that might sound hypocritical, but this is what I've learned from being a dickhead and friends being dickheads. A lot of my friends, along with myself are very lucky to be breathing. I also have no idea how none of us have ever seen the inside of a jail cell over driving related stuff. Watch the Mischief DVD series with Dado and all of those mofos. That is how my close friends and I acted for several years. I am glad we smartened up before one of us got killed. Not sure why I just spent a half hour typing this, but food for thought and hope it registers in your brain a bit...

Also, you are out of your mind to be driving those speeds at your age. You can't possibly even be 20 years old, asking questions like this one. I just realized you live in Mass. as well and I am thankful you're not around me lol. I bet you would feel very foolish if you crashed into a family of four and say...killed the mother and father, one of the kids, leaving behind the youngest to grow up with an uncle or grandparent. These are situations you have to consider before going those speeds on the road. And in Massachusetts, man? The roads are terrible here now! They are some of the worst in the country. Are you kidding me?! I don't think I've gone over 110mph in a year or two, other than a single instance and that was because someone rear ended my car at a yield sign and sped off in attempt to lose me. You are crazy to be going those speeds, in that car, on these roads...with absolutely no knowledge, skills, or experience to be moving like that.

forthewinwin
09-28-2012, 04:01 PM
The fastest I've gone was 100 on a wide, empty highway where most cars usually hover around 80 - 85.

Too many cops lurk around now here though. Instant car tow, +$300/year in insurance rates, fined about a grand, and lose your license if you don't have your "full license" yet. Don't think I'd risk it nowadays. and even if there were no cops, someone WILL randomly call the cops just to come chase you down. It's happened quite a few times here. This even at just 100.

To the people doubting the Honda Accord, it was a 1998 stock..I don't always drive like a idiot, the things I listed was a once in a while thing, with even the bad mechanically things wrong with it...there is no way I'm going to be doing all that again, it was a once time deal, and to prove a point to buddies of mine, BMW is the ultimate driving machine and Hondas are not anything to be dueling over. I'm not a d-bag driver, everything I list was pretty much when I first got the car, my own car and always wanted to rough house a car a bit, I used to drive my dad's Saturn Ion and drove it with care, I did ONE small peel out with it and that's it. Almost any newer Honda Accord or Civic SI could beat a stock E36, but does it handle better...no :)

Also, civics/integras with swaps are not really anything special... the newer V6 accords are no joke, and any K-series civic/rsx (not the A3) will run with an E36

All the little "stunts" I pulled was far away from cars, the 138MPH was 12AM with a few cars on the highway. The drift was clear away from cars as well, and being 19 has nothing to do of how you can control your car. I don't get how people are trashing on E36s on a E36 thread, I wasn't talking about racing a 2012 Civic SI or Accord, all these new cars have outstanding performing engines. I would have done the top out on a track but there is no tracks close by. The two races I did were against the same era of the E36, and there was absolutely nobody around as it was late night, the only person I would enjoy is myself and the other racer, but that would be our fault and our mistake. I do not think I'm invincible, that's why I don't really race because my car isn't in the best shape, and I don't really want to lose my license.

I ran an E46 either 328 or 330. NON M or ZHP. It was an auto. From a 60 mph dig i kept pulling from him until right at around 105 then he pulled on me and passed me at around 115 and kept pulling away from me after that then we of course slowed back down to 70 and gave each other thumbs up. I was surprised by the lack luster mid range of that car but the top end impressed me. Im in a 100% stock auto 328i. Soon to be not stock = )

I don't actually know. the long straight-away on the back of HPR is probably the location where I've gone the fastest, but one is not looking at the speedo as a sharp right hander is at the end of the straight away, but I think its probably close to 120 or so.

I have never raced on the street, but on track I've had better laptimes than a new looking Shelby Mustang GT 500, a couple C5 and C6 vettes and couple of E36 and E46's. (non-M).

How old are you? Have you ever undergone FORMAL training? Oh, nevermind - I just saw your thread about the horrible material condition of the car you're driving at 138mph, and it said you are 19. Stop endangering yourself and others, kid.


LOL @ this thread.

i've been there; you know.. being a dumb 17,18,19 year old.. yeah its not smart, and you will lose your license or kill someone, because the fact of the matter is, you don't have the experience, and that is clear in your posts and your overall attitude. Don't defend yourself there, you have no high performance driving education, no background in racing, likely shotty tires, brakes, and suspension ect. Do yourself and others a favor and take it to a track(even if you have to drive 3 hours) or to an auto-x where you can really test the car and gain some perspective on how crappy of a driver you really are. We all thought we were the shit at driving when we were 19, but please quit trying to hype yourself on the internet where no one cares, and everyone knows you're just trying to compensate for something. Please just do it safely, on a track where it is safe; no cars with children in the back seat or my 16 year old sister driving coming the other way while you're spinning out of control because you think you're ken block.

seriously, did you think we would be praising you for being the next hamilton or vettel? maybe the next Pruett? get real.

. Please just do it safely, on a track where it is safe; no cars with children in the back seat or my 16 year old sister driving coming the other way while you're spinning out of control because you think you're ken block.

Building on this:

HPDEs are safe, controlled events designed to provide drivers better understanding and training in high-speed control, racing dynamics, and allow them to explore the limits of their cars and themselves. All of this takes place in an appropriate environment, WITH knowledgeable, experienced instructors, appropriate safety equipment and services, and WITHOUT pedestrians, grandmothers, potholes (or other unforeseen surface irregularities), babies in backseats, or deer running out in front of you (though we've seen that happen, too).

As such, there are stringent maintenance/tech inspection requirements. As described by the OP, his car would NOT pass tech. Not without major cash to fix everything.

So, a question for the OP: with your car in a condition where it would be DENIED (by any semi-competent person or organization) from high-speed driving in a controlled, safe environment, WTF makes you think that you should be doing what you've admitted to - where/when all the variables are stacked against you? By that I mean that you DO have grandmothers, potholes (or other unforeseen surface irregularities), babies in backseats, or deer running out in front of you, and DO NOT have knowledgeable, experienced instructors, immediate access to emergency services or safety monitors...

Are you really that naive?

Congratulations, you may be the biggest idiot on this forum. Did you reallytake the videos while racing? At least do responsible adults a favor and post this crap in the kill stories forum. Better yet take racing to a track, an autocross, anywhere but the public roads. There are too many people that think BMW owners drive like jack-asses already. There's no point in proving them right.

Ever heard of a go-pro idiot? I have it mounted to my car for when we race AT A CLOSED COURSE like I have previously stated. Learn to read before you come at me with your smart comments. And I'm not the one who brought up how fast accords are, someone else did. I was just proving a point they are not as fast as what those people think.

Actually I read very well and your post referred to a car that you "dragged down the road". Didn't sound like a closed course to me. Oh, and I also have a go pro camera. Don't think I have ever aimed it backwards or sideways. Still if I misunderstood, my apologies.

Well I'm sorry, when I said down the road I meant closed course. And I have my gopro mounted on the front but you can obviously tell if someone beat me or not.

i've been there; you know.. being a dumb 17,18,19 year old.. yeah its not smart, and you will lose your license or kill someone, because the fact of the matter is, you don't have the experience, and that is clear in your posts and your overall attitude. Don't defend yourself there, you have no high performance driving education, no background in racing, likely shotty tires, brakes, and suspension ect. Do yourself and others a favor and take it to a track(even if you have to drive 3 hours) or to an auto-x where you can really test the car and gain some perspective on how crappy of a driver you really are. We all thought we were the shit at driving when we were 19, but please quit trying to hype yourself on the internet where no one cares, and everyone knows you're just trying to compensate for something. Please just do it safely, on a track where it is safe; no cars with children in the back seat or my 16 year old sister driving coming the other way while you're spinning out of control because you think you're ken block.

seriously, did you think we would be praising you for being the next hamilton or vettel? maybe the next Pruett? get real.

You're right that it was dumb for me to do these stunts, was I trying to hype myself over the internet, perhaps as I wanted to know if anybody else tested their car like I did. I'm not d-bag driver that does this all the time, it was mostly from being excited of owning my first car from driving my dad's crappy Saturn Ion. Just put into fact I did this when nobody was around and the only person I would danger is myself which is stupid because in any given moment, a deer, pothole or a parts breaking on me could have ended my life right there. It's not my age, as I seen older drivers that drive like shit, as least I have the experience on able to handle diffrent vehicles and get used to them very quickly as I can go from a SUV, Truck, Compact car, to large tank car. I'll take your advice on doing crazy need for speed stunts on the track because I respect that you care for other people including your younger sibling on the road from crazy drivers as its scary these days.

To everyone else, I'll take your advice, because driving at high speeds that's not on the track is stupid for many reasons like...losing my license, killing myself, or hurting someone else. I've been pulled over going 65 in a 40 because was in a rush to pick up my girlfriend because I was running late, I was let go, but to avoid a ticket is like a wake up calling on avoiding endangering myself or others on the road because in any given moment something can happen that nobody will be able to see as their could be a even stupid driver that is drunk. I'm sorry for the stupid actions I did, and apologizing for sounding like a tool.

But I'm still asking...what's the fastest you ever drove in your E36? Or tell a your track story here!
