im going to the bmw rolling road day on 21st June, and i was just wondering how much power i should be expecting from my E36 316

its 10 years old now so i dont know how much it would have lost from its original 103 bhp (haha that sounds pathetic)

and its completely standard



i think im aiming for the lowest power car of the day prize lol



but yer i was just wondering so i dont end up getting there and being disapointed smile


cheers

just dragging this thread back up, but i got it dyno'd at surrey rolling road and the output was . . .



wait for it

112bhp

A pleasant surprise. Before i took it i changed the plugs, oil, filters and was running on super unleaded. Fueling is perfect too. Just trying to get rid of it now to raise funds for my new car. apparently the market for it isnt too good at the moment?
