Top speed for 325i?

[E46Fanatic]

During my e46 325 Sport time. the only tough time it was a dog fight with Golf GTI Turbo. He really cucuk me even at 210km. That was the max speed I get in e46 325i going back from Port Dickson highway to KL. Now with 335i….these Evo9, Impreza is so damn fast laa…

You should get together with Meinauto and check out the Proceed v2 on his 335i. He did share he does kena cucuk by Evos on the highway

was nailing some Ferrari F430 on NS heading South, hit 225km/h cos i was keeping one-lamp post distance in case i couldnt brake as good as them...

I've hit 235 km/h on KL-putrajaya highway. It didn't take long to reach that speed and I was quite surprised when I glanced at the speedo. DY's car was a little bit in front of me tho. Donno what speed his registered at.

If I am not mistaken, I was doing 240 km/h at that time

The highest I have clocked before on this highway is 250 km/h. I think that is the max already for our stock standard E90 325i.

Lucky for the Ferrari that u keep one lamp post distance, otherwise u would have over taken him..

aha....great..great bros, but mine ones 325 not clocking above 200 kph on highway yet.maybe more safety on track.kinda enjoy but now my suspension sound occured while passing thru hump.maybe the braking force on the track? bcoz robert kubica produce 4tons of force while braking but i.m one dunno....any idea members?

 

[astroboy]

Robert Kubica knows exactly where to and not to brake. People like me will surely brake more and I've heard Supra in SIC run until Brembo rotor also melt, not that Brembo is lousy but driver like me..

I thought 242km/h is the max that a stock E90 325i can do? Where is the extra 8km/h come from? :rock:

If anything, our Malaysian road is generally eneven that I doubt we can really achieve the top speed. Anyway, personally I set my speed warning to 180km/h. So when this speed is breached, my car will sound like a Singaporean taxi :9: This is to remind me that an uncle like me shouldn't drive so fast!

How do you set the speed warning km/h mr peanut?maybe you need to guide me to do that.but warning only not cut off engine laa nanti kena cucuk susah la pulak.

This setting is only a warning and not auto-cutoff or a speed limiter. Mine is the 325i Sports and the way you set this, if I remember correctly, is go to Navigation and then you select On-Board Information (or something like that) and then you select Limit. From the screen you can set your speed for the warning to appear. Mine used to be 200km/h. Now is 180km/h. By my next birthday, it will be 150km/h :burnout:

Yup, that makes a difference!

also its best to record your top speed with a GPS. most cars speedo reading is about 2% higher than actual. ie. 230kmh on your speedo = 225kmh actual. correct me if i'm wrong.

if you change your rims/tires it may also affect your speedo reading. so dont be too happy doin 230kmh on your speedo hehe

totally agreed with ess530i, especially with after market speed meter (Apexi). Previously managed to do 246km/h with my Honda Integra Type R.

[Spaceman]

The E240 is actually pretty slow in start-go conditions cos of its hefty weight but once on the go, esp highway conditions, it's 2.6L displacement takes hold. I think if there was a traffic light enroute, things might have been different.

I was told don't simply upgrade your front brake because if the front brake is too makan, it will lift the rear more everytime u step and your rear passenger can puke!
