Williams vs BMW 528

[Summeh]

Got a know-it-all in the office here that seems to think my bosses bmw 528 (2.8litre) is gonna whoop the pants off my williams (straight line speed). What do you guys think? ive not looked up the stats yet.

 

[Chris n nic]

I would say no way m8...too heavy imo...You should win

It would be close very close,whoever get the best start I think

 

[Summeh]

ure jokin aint u, no way a heavy peace of sh*t like that is gonna beat a williams?

 

[DeanRSi]

in the 60s to 60 and top out at 150 ish. loads of torque. they fly along mate/ 18 secs odd to 100

 

[mr bognor]

Round bends

 

[Summeh]

nah just talking about straight line here... i know id win round bends

 

[DeanRSi]

Youd beat it in a straight line blast i reckon. If yours is modded it might be fairly convincing but dont expect to cain it. unless hes a crap driver lol

 

[Chris n nic]

I would say probably high 6s to 60 (330 is 6.5 and thats a smaller car with a little more power) which a willie will do with a few mods...Is yours standard?

Chris

 

[DeanRSi]

in the 328 with the same engine it does a 6.4 to 60 and 17.2 to 100. think its tuned differently in the 5 series. same power but different delivery.

 

[Tony]

Surely you would win? Until the beemer gets going! then he might start catching you up.

I hope your doing it on private land!

 

[Summeh]

almost standard, ITG air filter and slightly larger bore back box (know it dont make any diff).

 

[Matt16v]

Pretty positive theyre inline 6 so torque isnt gonna be massive.

Can any one get the power/weight on it?

All good saying a car is gonna beat it but is there gonna be a race?

Also if he does whoop you, all you have to do is say "beemer drivers are such idiots"

He cant win that one.

 

[Adams_16v]

u shoule batter it mate, my mates 328 does the 1/4 in 15 secs at best and they are lighter than the 5 series

 

[Summeh]

nah this is just theory, im sure there wouldnt really be a race anyway. just trying to disprove a know-it-all in the office who thinks id get owned.

 

[Matt16v]

You need some serious statistical power then mate. Not just 0-60 but in gear speeds etc.

Thats what people dont take in to account on the road that gearing is different. Toque peaks in different places and once a cars moving 0-60 can go out the window.

Was reading about an RS200 the other day that does 80-100mph in 0.85 secs!

 

[SOHROB]

i ad a go wi a 330 ci the other week and i dint do that bad but they r quick cars

 

[Ian_182]

after 60 he would real you in .they are 155mph cars

 

[PJVTS]

Just looked and a 528 is 7.3 to 60 if its a manuel or 8.5 for a auto.

had a blast with a 330ci, he wasnt gaing - but i wasnt leaving him upto 100 - then I had to hit the brakes for a corner - saved by the hairpin!

[TomS]

[_Tom]

Yep ive driven one too. A couple of times actually!

My grandad has one.

 

[Winston]

Not a fan of BMW drivers they think they are well bad, Is it me or do they alway seem to want to prove there car is faster than yours.

M3s are the don tho

 

[SOHROB]

[Summeh]

Ive held one in me valver up to 100 then he started leaving me behind.

And I was 2 up, but he may have been an auto. That was from a rolling 30-ish

 

[Martin]

A manual 330ci (2 up, me on my own) took about 3 car lengths out of my car 40-125 on a private road near me. My car was running 14.9 for the 1/4 at the time...so Id say they are quite quick.

 

[SOHROB]

u cant knock 330,they r very quick.wud take a special clio to beat em

 

[Martin]

Yeah 330s are quick but the 5 series are good too, had a good battle with a 530d...that shifted a bit!! (for a diesel!)
