E36 Turbo M3 runs 9's @ 145mph.
Finally a BMW made it to a good track with a good setup in the US.
A built turbo E36 M3 making less then 700rwhp to the wheels (ill get the exact numbers soon, last i heard 650rwhp) just ran a 9.92 @ 145 mph. The car weighs roughly about 3400lb's and was running MT ET drag tires.
Another turbo E36 BMW (a 328i) ran a 148mph trap speed.

What's to call BS on? a stock E36 weighs right around 3300 pounds with a full tank of gas. I'm assuming that car has some weight reduction plus driver, 3400 is a believable number.

I knew you would be the first to call BS on a fast BMW.
Well its not BS, the car is setup right for it.

I just don't beleive that a 3400lbs car with less than 700hp ran that, that's all.

Awesome, thanks for the vid.
Car hooked up decently, and trapped 145MPH.
Numbers work in my head. I'd bet it's pretty close the 700rwhp mark though. I assume it's still a street car, or occasional street car. Love it...
EDIT
Did a bit of snooping. Looks like he ran the car a month or so with seats, etc. in the car. Hard to tell from the pics I saw. In the above pics, looks like no rear seats, no passenger seat, and a racing seat.
