    E36 M3 onboard acceleration thread

    Hello guys,

    Im Peter from Slovakia, Europe. On youtube you can find lot of videos of doing acceleration 0-200kmh, 100-200kg 100-180kmg etc of european E36... But i was strugling to find how will fully tuned e36 m3 with s52 engine with cams etc perform.. I know lot of you guys have your e36 with american engine tuned to really high level.Can you post some of these videos?

    Im considering rebuild my engine to 3,2 displacement, i need some inspiration

    Not exactly what you are looking for, but what is possible for a street driven E36 S52. Bimmerforums member.

    Is the button on the shift lever just a lock so that under heavy acceleration/vibration it can't pop out of gear or something? Dang that thing is awesome, they did a great job.
    Feel free to ask about my car:

    I imagine that button is a line lock control. That prevents the car from rolling while the car is staged/at the line about to start the race.

    Edit: I looked at the video again and don't see a button on the shifter and later see the driver using the e-brake to prevent roll.
