@82coxy 8 лет назад

Being a Euro Spec M3 could be your answer, if you live in the USA and you've only heard M3's that were brought in America a Euro M3 would sound a little better and rev abit higher. USA lost out with the M3 sadly for any American BMW lover.

@clutchthepearls3062 8 лет назад

+Leeroy Jones We got an older model 240hp I6 for our e36. Still a decent engine, but not even close to the Euro spec M3. It wasn't until the e46 when we got the same engine.

@HenryTheChipfork 8 лет назад

The 321hp for the 3.2 M3s were always on the optimistic side. There were only a few which actually got close to that; most were around 310-315hp. Alex would be lucky to get close to that imho. Most of the 3.0 produce more than BMW said they would. I know a couple of guys with standard ones that have up to 304hp. Mine isn't too shabby either at 296hp completely original. However, it already has gotten a new cat, new exhaust and new vanos seals (Beisan Systems, pretty cheap and massively noticable). BTW Alex, you might want get a little higher oil-temperature before doing 0-60 runs or even maxing it. My mechanic says you should have at least 85° before you give it the beans.

Those dynos are a good example for being eager to believe numbers once they are measured and printed/displayed. Still many inaccuracy factors as long as you measure the whole car and not the engine alone. But together with the launch tests the amount of power loss is at least comprehensible. Entertaining video!

@joeemartuccii1 8 лет назад

Isn't the 317 advertised hp at the crank? The 275 whp isnt far off that...

@jospi2 8 лет назад

This special dyno measures crank-horsepower through a calculation that includes drive-train loss.

@fahrvergnuegen 8 лет назад

Dynos measure in Wheel HP which looses 10-15% for a 2WD car and 20-25% for a AWD/4WD car. So measuring 279 at the rear wheels is as good as the car gets since the factory specifications from Germany are 321PS or 317BHP without the drive train loss. Maybe with some servicing you can get it up to 290. My then bone stock 2011 335i measured 291 at the rear wheels which was spot on for similar cars.

@EvilElmo81395 8 лет назад

IDK if he knows, but 280hp at the wheels isn't too bad considering they made around 320 at the crank from the factory.

@marcustaylor670 6 лет назад

I thought it was a sub 6 seconds to 60 on that last run. If you want more bhp thrashing the nuts off and engine usually works for me, that or it goes bang. A few magazines years ago tried thrashing a stock motor vs a pipe and rolling road setup from nearly new motors. The thrashed engines were always faster and made more power on the dyno after a couple of thousand miles of abuse.

@Spark972 8 лет назад

The service won't be enough : vanos refection, get rid of all the old oil cooked up there, check the little grill filter. All the oil holes are certainly blocked hence the low pressure for the actuators (150 bars in working condition if I remember well) I saw so many slow E36M3 due to vanos issue, valve clearance is only part of the problem imo... I was also surprised how rich the car is running, plus the fact that it still have a cat it should have read even less richer. Those cars can run very very poor without an issue, these engine are very strong. 12.8AFR at redline seems closer to what I recall back in the days. May be you have a defective temperature sensor that run the car richer as if the engine were still cold.

Dude, watch all your videos and never comment (not sure if you read them all), but if you slip the clutch instead of dropping it and try to get a feel for traction from 0mph, you should eliminate the scrabble which will help the launch and make a huge difference to the 0-60. Obviously not great for the clutch plate, but neither is dropping it haha! Learned this after doing a million race starts, have a go! Love the number plate by the way.

Does this dyno convert WHP to engine HP? Because 279WHP is about right for a healthy s50b32 motor. I don't know why, but I've seen numerous British car dyno shows where nobody seems to understand that wheel horsepower and engine horsepower are not the same thing.

@Xbox360Player350 8 лет назад

Can they clarify if they were converting the value to crank HP? Because 279 wheel HP equates to about 320 crank HP which is excellent.

@rawritskc 8 лет назад

As a E46 M3 owner I cringed each time you dumped the clutch, these cars don't handle clutch dump that good. I would suggest slipping the clutch and wear the clutch out. when you dump the clutch you are beating up all the mounts, chassis and transmission. I'd rather replace only clutch than possibly other more expensive parts. Nice M3 man keep it!!

I think this dyno calculed (showed) the BHP not the RWP, 279RWHP is too high for a stock S50B32 but its really too low for only a valve clrearance adjustment...

I love E36s - wish I still had one!

I was wondering if you would consider to dyno your e36 after a valve adjustment and without an exhaust change.

Im guessing that it had 317hp when it was new at the crank? How do you do the calculations to find the crank hp from the wheel dyno because in the states people do the wheel horsepower most of the time

These engines, especially the 3.2l, are known to loose power if the maf sensor is getting old. replace it with a bmw or bosch branded one and take a look again on the dyno.

first video that I have seen that has made me want a BMW. been Audi for a long time but a 20 year old car still pulling like that. nice to see.

Valve clearance? Is it something different? Or there is none to regulate, since this should have hydraulic compensators, the m20/21 series or somtn like that had none, so they had valves adjusted each 40k or somtn.

Try some of that engine clean stuff they used on Fifth Gear. It can bring back HP and is not expensive to try.

Next oil change add 1 XADO Maximun Stage do 200km and add 3 EX-120 (the yellow ones) for diesel (yes I know it´s gasoline) it doesn´t matter, you have better concentration of the staff in the diesel formula. I did it in my X5 2004 4.4 (gasoline) with 200.000km. You´ll get more than you´d imagine for a little money. Regards
