TriggerFish Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 229? I got within 3bhp with over 200k miles on my 330d, so with less miles on a petrol, it should be close to book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das_flo Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I suppose it all depends how accurate the dyno is, how dense the air is, how accurate the drivetrain loss calculation is (assume FW power), but I'm going to have a guess at 225bhp. Edit: Just almost spat my tea out when I read this: "Don’t worry kid, the monster isn’t under your bed, it’s in the garage" Edited October 2, 2015 by das_flo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuBeeDoo Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) It's making max. torque at 2100rpm?? That's diesel revs. I'd expect a petrol engine to make its torque around 3.5-4.5k. Edited October 3, 2015 by StuBeeDoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly I don't need to think again. I've been around long enough in the game to know who to use and who not to. AMD have a very mixed rep and I wouldn't give any car to them or recommend their mapping or work. Regarding your figures it looks to like me some dyno manipulation as these engines make around 220lbft torque. Secondly as pointed out by Stu your max torque shouldn't be that low down the rev range. So again the figures should be taken with a pinch of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Today I visited a friend and tried a set of OZ Opera II's... unfortunately they're a bit wider than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermitthefrog Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Better off, they look gash! You do realise that you're driving a limited edition 330ci and not a slammed tdi VW Golf?!

das_flo Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Ironically those hideous rs replicas are more suited to a slammed vag car than the OZ's. They're period German wheel exotica. What's the specs on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the specs on them? The other wheels are DARE RS, quite common as i've seen them on many BMWs last time at Santa Pod. The OZ are 18x8.5J and ET15, will suit a M3 I guess, but clearly not mine without arch work, camber and stretched tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRyan Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Im quite a fan of the Dares! I used to have a similar set on my Clubsport, albeit with silver bolts and a BMW centre badge. If you're ever considering selling them I may be interested mate. Lex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I wanted to sell them and get the OZ, not sure what to get next tho' as I've sold my clubsport alloys after pissing me off by their look like 16s and high ET making them lost in the arches..... Any suggestions are welcome guys, only 18". Edited October 6, 2015 by Lex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkynut Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I like the Dare DR-RS wheels but could never have them because of the cleaning they must need! I think they suit all BMW's up to and including the e46 and maybe some after. Dare do some great replica like wheels at a good price. They weigh alot more but unless you're a track guru I doubt you'd notice. I think the red centre caps look ok too. I'm not into the OZ's but it's all about what you like on your car not what I or anyone else likes. We all stick to safe tried and tested BMW friendly wheels and few try anything different. The OZ's won't fit anyway but if they did they might look ok when on properly with it sat right. Kirkynut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evokid Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I can't think of many nicer wheels than either the CSL's originals or APEX Arc-8. They just suit the cars lines so well. Or BBS Ch :-) kirkynut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what they are, I know what they wished they were too, and between dare, lenso & the other bandwagon jumpers rebranding cheap Chinese wheels they've saturated the market with cheap looking replicas that have no place on a BMW IMO.
