(almost) topspeed video e36 M3 eurospec

[dutchbmw]

Just want to say hello to everyone. I made a video of (almost) the top speed of my e36 eurospec M3 (321hp) last Sunday, I was bored and the roads were almost empty because of the soccer games. You can check it out here: video M3 (http://members.home.nl/pieter79) (see Video button)

You know, I think my car is almost faster than yours.... but that 6th gear is really helping you. :(

[dutchbmw]

I couldn't top it out yet with camera. Top speed is 285 km/h (177 mph), next time it will be on tape......

@Eric R: What are the specs of your car?

[GEN3RIC]

Maybe I will see if I can get a nice video of a final gear 90mph to redline for you so we can compare. I have a lot of mods, I guess I will share.

The go-fast, in a nutshell:
-99 TC Kline S52
-Ported/Polished
-balanced/blueprinted
-Schrick Cams (256/264)
-7 Angle grind
-11.0:1 Compression
-Full OBD1 conversion
-TMS software
-Baffled oilpan
-Bored Throttlebody
-AA Gen 3 Exhaust / Trackpipe
-E34 M5 Clutch / 8.5# Flywheel

edit: I totally forgot to add my 2 bimmerforums.com stickers and my 1 eurowerks sticker, they are good for a total of 35rwhp.

That are a lot of mods! Mine is OEM except for no limiter anymore, a K&N intake filter and a Hamann muffler.

Would be cool to see a vid of yours one time so we can compare.

Not many places to do top speed runs without being unsafe...but I'll work on it. :)

[dutchbmw]

Please don't do it if it's unsafe or illegal. I live in the Netherlands near the German border so I can drive as fast as I want every moment of the day. It's even dangerous to handle a camera at that speed, I've made a little bracket for my camera to place it at the center part of the steering wheel and it works well.

[GEN3RIC]

Thats what I plan on doing. There are a lot of wide open roads but if I do it I will probably end up getting a few friends to spot for traffic a few miles down the roads. If things work out I will do it but Im not going out of my way to kill someone :)

Did you already make a vid?

[Keda]

Cool vid...I missed it the first time around.

Anyways, the Dutch M obviously faster...its estoril blue. ;)

I wish we had roads around here that I could max out my car with out risking serious jail time. Nice vid.

cool, my friend amsterdam last week for a baseball tournament

[Jurian]

Wow, does your car stay stable at that speed? Would'nt do that on the Dutch highways.

[dutchbmw]

No problem at all. One hand for the steering wheel, the other one for the camera!! If there isn't much traffic the highways are a blast!
