My current car is a 99 M3. All I have is an intake and exhaust and I was hitting just around 14.0. Granted that's the stock time advertised but that's what happens when you have an automatic convertible with a 250 lb driver. Totally FML.

I feel like if I had my car at stock specs (wheels and weight and all) I could hit a 13.7.
If I had my car modded to what it used to be I wouldn't be suprised with a 13 flat. Unfortunately, I'll never know...

I dont know why its so hard to believe... They are pretty damn light and have decent power?
S2k's make the same power and are about the same weight, less torque, and my friends AP2 ran a 13.9 after he learned how to launch it. People wont question that but they question E36's??

Magazine tests showed 14.1-14.3 in stock form (this includes car and driver, road and track, and motor trend). This is on stock tires, with the CDV, etc. I was able to hit a 13.9@100 at US41 raceway bone stock with the CDV removed, the airbox restrictors removed, sticky street tires, and no spare tire.

I just never knew the E36's were that fast. I've gained lots of respect for the E39 M5 after getting my *** handed to me by one the other night.
So....still waiting till winter time to boost your M?
