BMW M3 E46 | TOP SPEED on AUTOBAHN [NO SPEED LIMIT] by AutoTopNL

[@TheNinjaBiker]

Digital Speedometer can never replace the joy of watching the needle moving in Analog Speedometer. Change my mind!

[@GoldenCroc]

Its true. Even worse because almost every digital speedo out there updates so damn slowly! From one number to the next can be a 30kmh gap when accelerating!

[@raptor.x.k]

Absolutely

[@stg89]

I feel like luxury cars should retain the analog dials cuz like the digital gauge cluster kinda feels cheap but a well made analog speedometer now that’s feels special, (not talking about performance cars)

[@ramadhanisme7]

Except the one in lexus lfa, gosh it is so joyous to watch the rev counter needle moving so fast even though it is digital

My 2005 M3 is at 166,000 miles and did 155mph (GPS verified, 160mph on the speedometer) in 5th gear at 7600rpm the other day. (Not limited) totally stock as well. (Did the rod bearings 6k miles ago) I was surprised I still had 500rpm to go, and didnt need to even touch 6th gear. Only slowed down due to hitting traffic ahead. Love these cold fall mornings.

[@Felix-lb3bi]

275km/h on the speedo? That's respectable for 343 hp

[@mauritsbuskens6595]

It’s quite a fast car

[@GoldenCroc]

Honestly its a bit slow for a medium size 2wd sedan/coupe, dont know if its the aerodynamics or misplaced gearing for top speed or a combination that is the problem. I was hoping for 290 speedo or so, at least 275 real speed. Ah well, 265 real speed is good enough for most people. Maybe it could have done 275 with better gearing, doesnt look entirely impossible.

[@Franc39A6DD]

@@GoldenCroc I also find it a bit slow. I had a friend who had filmed his M3 e46 at 290km / h and his M3 e36 3.0 at 280km / h. He himself has a friend who had an M3 e36 3.2 with different camshafts. 304km / h with GPS.

[@cannyscott]

@@GoldenCroc its geared to do 204mph standard but obviously it doesnt have the power to do that. I had my e46 m3 clocked on my gps at 168mph.

[@vab120]

It probably has only 290-300hp max after all these years. It’s a little slow actually. I had one back in 2006, and stock engine would take you to 300kph no problem

See folks that 6th gear is for cruising mpg. Love how so many hate on a lighter 5spd when irl that 6th gear isnt giving you more juice on the top end.

[@GoldenCroc]

What? There is no rule you have to space gears like this, it depends entirely on what cogs you got in the box. And you gain a heck of a lot of usability at higher speed with more gears, for a relatively minimal weight gain on a street car.

[@RobbieKhan]

If it's been well maintained and has modern tyres (not the stock Pilot SuperSports or PS2 it came with) then the 0-60 times are decently below 4.8s. The stock figures were very conservative for the time as it was and with modern tyres like Pilot Sport 4 S and a well maintained engine and suspension setup, the performance is quite a bit better.
