The BMW E39 525i Sedan came out in 2000 - 2003.
2002 525i has the M54 6 cylinder engine with 192 HP.

0-60 in 7.3 seconds.

The e36 328i has the M52 6 cylinder engine with 193 HP.

I would think that the e39 525i would win, they're sporty.

But I didn't think of how heavy they are.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Wrong... Thats the right engine code but the 03 525i (US SPEC's) had only 184 hp at 6000 rpm.. same as the E46 325i's now. Everything else is common sence

Slush 328is > Slush 528ia dddduhh
Slush 328is (6.7-6.8 to 60) > Manual 525i (7.3-7.8)

E39 525i' auto are slow (8.3 to 60 at a good test)
E39 525 manuals are faster but not much.
A stock 328ia coupe will take a 325i chipped ... anyday
A stock 325i auto is 8.1 to 60 in motor trend... chipping it would do barley anything to that time.

Oh and those 0-60 times on that sheet are wayyyy off. Those seem like very conservative factory estimates.

I highly doubt it, but even if he might have been able to win, point is I won

An 2003 525i is an e60!

He didn't race an e60

, he raced an e39.

Cmon, get it right.

**Torque** · 06-11-2005, 03:14 AM

E39 525i had a m54b25 and put out 192 hp.

**///95M3** · 06-11-2005, 06:53 PM

nope....do i need to repeat myself or put a 525i on a dyno? the u.s spec 525i did not have 192 hp.... it had 184, 192 in europe yes along with the 325 but not here.

oh i meant 02 not 03

You can all still have fun with the autos. Me I'm sitting here typing to you guys. If I was at home, ya, probally doin' the same thing. But, I try not to mess with someone who has a weight advantage over my fat ass in the rain, that guy was kinda retarded! So anyways, how fast do guys get up to in the states? You know no cops or cameras.

a year later, and xsperf hasn't learned too much more..

moral of the story -- manual 325 = automatic 328.

**euro driver e34** · 05-02-2006, 02:29 PM

Ya I just came aboard and that's probaly one of the funniest threads I've read

looks like you havent learned much more either, an automatic 328 could probably smoke a manual 325, so whats your point? that your stupid and you like to mention my name in every post, im going to take c1aptons advice and block you, its your type of people that make this world have problems

Storamin · 05-03-2006, 12:28 AM

no, an automatic 328 will pace a manual 325.

and it's your type of people who make 3.1k posts without anything actually useful. congrats post whore.

**xsperf** · 05-03-2006, 12:35 AM

ur not doing too well either, making fun of other people isnt useful, the only knowledge i have seen you contribute to is bashing out BBK, and u were wrong after dudesky posted the brakebible website

Storamin · 05-03-2006, 11:10 AM

link please.

if i'm wrong i'd like to know. it's not very often that i'm wrong xsperf about subjects that i have invested a lot of time into learning.

**xsperf** · 05-03-2006, 02:53 PM

its not very often? maybe because your only an "expert" into brakes, and even your "expertice" in that area is questionable, i will find link, but it will take me some time, but for the record, you said BBK dont make you stop faster, and you were wrong

Rooz · 05-04-2006, 12:01 AM

wow, it's almost been a year since i made this thread

Storamin · 05-04-2006, 10:19 AM

xsperf, i think it goes back to the fact it is a 525i. it's got a lot of excess weight that would slow it down from a 325.

my expertise? no expert by any means. there's tons of people that have a lot more experience and know a lot more about it than i do. having said that i enjoy learning as much as i can about them. as one of my professors said, if you spend 1 hour a day on a subject for 1 year, you'll be an expert on the subject. perhaps you are an expert on unitedbimmer

**euro driver e34** · 05-05-2006, 05:03 AM

Even experts can know everything. They just have talent and enjoy that area. The area that they concentrated a lot of attention to. Not calling him an expert. But you can take an expert mechanic that has been working in the field for 30 years will tell you that they cannot remember all that he has or hasn't seen.

**macky55e34lover** · 01-22-2008, 01:42 AM

e39's are a 523, 2.3 liter and definitely heavier that e46's

**denyo77** · 01-22-2008, 10:07 AM

ahaha interesting thread...
why did Storamin get banned again?

anyways please don't dig out threads this old and dusty, Macky
