What's our 0-60?
Where can we find information about 2006 non-type-S 0-60 information?
I was wondering which one is faster, my car, or an idiot who drives 328i who cut me this morning, and was mad when I cut back.
***search is not working

auto or manual?
you're faster than a 328i...our cars are more comparable to the 330's; but from personal experience, we're a bit quicker than even the 330's - 6 MT is a different story for us autos however. bmw drivers: arrogant

Is this a joke thread?
328i is 230hp by the old standard, so about 202 by the new SAE standards,
vs a TL-S w/ 286hp.. HA! You can do circles around him.

it has 258 HP, but weigh more than the 328i...
so, what's the number? is it like 5.9 seconds?
also, what does it mean old standard? (sorry)

Briefly,
An Example:
2004-2006 Base TL were rated at 270hp under the old SAE measuring standard. For 2007-08 the base went to down to 258hp according to the new and improved standards....
Nissan and BMW are the only car manufacturers that are still using the old standards. So it’s minus 12-15% from the advertised hp. There are great articles on this, but of course, I can't find them.
PS I cant remember exactly, but I think now they measure the hp/torque from the belt performance... if someone can provide a link of what I'm talking about, that will be great, thanks.

Thats what I found couple days ago when I was wondering the same thing...
ASPEC-TL in 2005 3.2L VTEC 6speed --> 5.9 sec
BASE-TL in 2005 3.2 VTEC AUTO --> 6.3 sec
TOTAL SPECS
-------------
Top speed : 155 mph(estimated)
0-60 mph : 5.9 sec.(manual), 6.3 sec.(automatic)
0-¼ mile : 14.5 sec @ 95.0 mph(manual)
60-0 braking distance : 130 ft
200 ft skidpad : 0.84 g

Best reported time I've seen for a stock TL was in the May 2004 issue of Car and Driver. They road tested an A-Spec version of this car (A-Specs carry absolutely no alterations to the drive train). They managed a 0-60 run in 5.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 14.3 seconds at 99 MPH.

Yeah according to what I understand our 0-60 time for 05 TL Auto is 6.1-6.2 secs... I know this sucks compared to my 05 Altima 3.5SE Automatic which was faster....5.9 seconds 0-60!! But I still love my TL.

BMW has always been conservative in their published horsepower/torque numbers. An 06 auto TL and a manual 328i have an almost identical 0-60 time. If they're both autos, the TL is definitely quicker. The 330i is a little quicker than the 328i but not much. 335i -- different league IMO.

haha! Even a TL-S might get owned by a 335i???

I was messing around with a 330. I have just a TL-P with a couple bolt ons. I was just a touch faster then him, but not by much. It was very close.
Also considering it was after a 3 hour drive (I was coming home from Hampton Roads meet).

Where do you get the idea you subtract 12-15% for the SAE conversion??? From 270 to 258 is around 4.5%. BMW has always UNDERRATED their engines anyway. The 335 is rated at 300 and puts out ~275 at the wheels, stock. Published crank numbers mean very little in the real world.
I also dislike bench racing. Go out and do it, because there's slim to nil chances of an average person being able to duplicate magazine times, let alone beat them.

How fast do you think a Base 5AT w/ my bolt ons would be capable of (0-60mph)?

That post was pretty impressive coming from you. You are spot on....
Just because it's a Type-S doesn't mean it's automatically faster. It can be the complete opposite. The regular 6MT can be faster than the 5AT Type-S. No, the 5AT Type-S cannot obtain 5.5 sec in 0-60 unless you are going downhill at 40 degree angle. The 5.5 number is from the 6MT Type-S if launched right.

0-60 isn't the yardstick you should be using, however. In a contest out on the road (meaning not a dead stop), quarter mile trap speed is the best indicator of who's going to prevail.
