I know little to nothing about beamers.. And a friend of mine wants to race on a track, just trying to dig up some dirt on my opponent's car... Please no flaming im just trying to learn up

Mosher · 12-16-2009, 10:18 PM

What year is it? Auto or Manual?

HHmm...

Jlpinc4y · 12-16-2009, 10:36 PM

09, automatic. Mine is automatic aswell, but ill probably be playing with the paddle shifters when i go out

Mosher · 12-16-2009, 10:43 PM

well.... If it's bone stock....

I am showing it as having a 230HP 3.0L. At best the curb weight is around 3400lbs.

You won't blow his doors off or anything but it should be a sound beating. It shouldn't be completely down to just the drivers I think you should have the advantage.

76z28 · 12-17-2009, 12:01 AM

you should win
i kinda just went up agasint one in my chevy truck
5.3 crewcab 4x4 limited
and well i kept up with him through 1st but then he got about 3 cars on me lol
in my opinion that is sad

Jlpinc4y · 12-17-2009, 12:34 AM

Haha okay well car for car he thinks his is better then mine.. i think not and it led to him challenging me to a race ill let you know how it went.

I don't know for a fact, but I would imagine the V6 auto Camaros are somewhat slower than the manuals. No limited slip diff, less agressive gearing, higher drive line loss ... I can't see how they would be the same. I think it would be a close race, but I'd expect you to win.

Anyway, if you race him don't bother with the paddles. Put it in sport mode (gear selector in M and don't change the gears yourself) should result in the best shifts.

328i road test info From Edmunds:

We recorded a brisk 0-60-mph sprint of 6.4 seconds en route to a quarter-mile time of 14.6 seconds at 94.7 mph.

Motor Trend Camaro v6:

0-to-60-mph sprints of about 6.1 sec or so

returnofcc · 12-17-2009, 01:48 PM

Advantage goes to the camaro

Vladi · 12-17-2009, 07:55 PM

i can tell you, Bmw have no chance!

Camaro_SSBB · 12-30-2009, 10:25 AM

I think it would be a really close race. The BMW's are quick...and I believe the 0-60 on both are near the same. The Camaro is quite a bit heavier...so I would think the BMW would win. Now if you had a 335i, with the twin turbo, that would be a different situation! (The SS, would even lose...most likely!)

But that's not the situation.

OP, you should be able to pull a win if you two are at the same level

Negitive, The Power to Weight difference is not enough to even it out against the V6. Likely to be closer between the auto Camaro V6, but either way the Camaro Wins. (As said before, probably decidedly too, but not leaving for dead)

Also as they come from the factory (Aftermarket is a battle of cubic Dollars), the 335i isn't going to fair well against the SS... Not at all.

A little math and the situation becomes clear.

Check the specs,the ss would win the 135 and 335 do the 1/4 in 13.4.But as comparing times from edmunds and motor trends,not the same.I hate edmunds with a passion those idiot can't drive.They are always like 3 to 4 tenths off everybody elses.
