Re: Another Road Trip
Nice ride Jet.
Wow, many "senior members" are moving away from DSM's competely. It seems the majority of "us" just have dsm parts now.
Well there is still Hill, lol.

Re: Another Road Trip
Looks good to me! With 315 hp I bet that little thing really moves, especially with Beemer torque. How much does it weigh?

Re: Another Road Trip
It isn't real light, it is about 3,100 lbs. It does have a 50/50 weight distribution though. It can get pretty tail happy with the stability and traction control turned off.
The power never falls off throughout the RPM band, it just keeps steadily climbing. It doesn't have the hit of a turbo though. It wasn't as much fun at first, but now I am getting used to it.

Re: Another Road Trip
Nice ride Jet. Thank god you picked the '01, and not any older.. first year with the higher HP motor. The older one with 245 just doesn't cut it. BTW, when did you get it? Your didn't happen to run a certain yellow S2K this last weekend did you?

Re: Another Road Trip
Thanks everyone!
I still have my DSM, so it is not like I am bailing on them (4 actually!).
Mo- That is why I got the 2001, I wanted the 315hp. Only made in 2001 and 2002. I just got it so that wasn't me racing, we picked it up last night.

You got a M Roadster, not the M coupe that I was looking for. Here is the cheapest one I found ($36,900) doing a search on autotrader. It only found 6 M Coupes in the whole US for sale...
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...en&cardist=300
I was only looking at M coupes, not convertibles, thats why I couldnt find one under 30k. The coupe was the stiffest car BMW ever made and is also pretty rare, and I love how it looks. In a few years ill trade the M3 for one  |

Re: Another Road Trip
lol no I just love the unique look of the shoe car! Ever since the coupe came out I just thought it looked so sweet. You either hate the coupe or like it... that what people say.
As far as BMW sites go... just for information? or modding and forums?
Forums/info: DTMPower.net, e46fanatics, bimmerfest.com, theautobahn.com, bmwsport.net, z3roadster.com, mz3.net
Parts/mods: pelicanparts.com, eautoworks.com, turnermotorsports.com, Dinan, activeautowerke.com, bavauto.com
Some might not apply to yours but these are the ones I use...
Get that on the dyno in July for DB dyno day!! I want to know how much more power you put down than me |
