I recently test drove an E30 BMW.
Since it was a test drive, I was hesitant to apply what I've recently learned from my 911 shift points in terms of keeping the RPMs above 3k.
If I did, the seller might think I'm beating on the car, because that high RPM sound is traumatizing when you're used to shifting at 3k.
I did delay upshifting if I saw a turn approaching, but I don't think I went over 4k rpm.
So, it's hard to tell what the car was really capable of.
What do you guy think of this car? Underrated? Overrated?
The E30 325i makes 168hp at 5800 RPM.
I decided to plug some numbers in and compare......
