JTdrivin1 · 07-27-2009, 07:13 AM

Scorpion · 07-27-2009, 07:41 AM

Faster then my accord lol.

335e92tx · 07-27-2009, 08:42 AM

Running at some 2K+ altitude ?
Get FI FTW.

Funny, uses the turn indicator at 120+
Yeah, that will keep the cops off you.
Will it help someone looking in their mirror,,, maybe, but doubtful.

It's OBVIOUSLY been around the dial a few times, he's approaching light-speed, hence the warble in the visual space-time continuum

Choolgooz · 07-28-2009, 01:25 PM

Audio and Video are not synched up. Something is jacked up.. its 7:41 for the entire duration of the vid... playing in slow mo.

yomama69 · 07-28-2009, 01:31 PM

It's slow because it's an N52.

drift90 · 07-28-2009, 02:58 PM

"BMW e90 328xi 70-138mph
Road was level
Really slow

It's limited to 138 because of the tires it came with from BMW.

Mods that make a difference:
Intake
Muffler delete (lose a little hp due to less back pressure on engine)
19" rims "

jpsum · 07-28-2009, 06:43 PM

putting it in DS mode MAY help.

It's limited to 138 because of the tires? sure about that?

3lusive · 07-28-2009, 07:27 PM

you slowed down the video but not the audio?

TiAg335i · 07-28-2009, 10:14 PM

wow, makes me glad I have an N54...that shit is slow man...

that is probably the worst accelerating 3 series model/drivetrain combination (from a roll).

lablueboy · 07-28-2009, 11:44 PM

obviously this car is fast, so fast that sound was trailing so far behind it, which means it's either reached or surpassed the speed of sound @ .53 ..

AllydNYC · 07-29-2009, 12:27 AM

As someone said I don't think DS mode matters, doesn't it just keep the RPM's higher (not change gears as often)?

darkphantom · 07-29-2009, 12:31 AM

idk, something wrong with your car bro...test drove the 328i and it wasn't as slow as the vid...

That's what I think, mind the shitty camera work and such everyone, it was just me in the car on the way to BMW Fest, there was <10 pound of extra stuff in the car, as in the car had no extra weight besides the driver and some camera equipment,

3lusive · 07-29-2009, 12:51 AM

obviously something (audio or video) was edited because the sound stops less than halfway into the video.
it is hard to tell whether OP is joking or not

Not joking, I think youtube screwed it up, the video is fine on my computer. I didn't edit it at all because I hate how long Adobe Premiere takes to process it.

And I mean I know its not a big deal because I rarely travel at that speed but I thought it was unusual that a BMW would take that long to reach that speed, so that's why it was filmed. I didn't know if that's how slow the 328's are or if it was my car.

If you included the tach in the shot, all these accusations could have been avoided.
