the reason why u dont see 32's on the road is because there too good to be driven everyday. if they were driven everyday theyd be like the r33, common and un-special :(

the only reason why i like 32's dayne is cause they crap all over 33's any day :lol:

you say 32 owners hide, i saw 2 r32's at summernats both GTR's, Both fine as. i saw one 33 and that was gtst. if there so embarrased then why would they rock up to a muscle car event? :rofl::):P :P

.....?

What are YOU up to?

Bluprint,

Its a secret :unsure: I need more power.

Anyhow, as we all know R32's are lighter, more nimble, and certainly faster than the fat old 33. Mind you, the 33's extra tourque and comfort make up for....... well nothing really.

The r32 may be cheaper than the 33, and feels like twice the bargan. Amazing!

Anyhow who wants to argue the point is more than welcome to line me up :D

Besides, we are all just sad we don't have R34 GTR VSpec II's sitting around in bayside blue. Maybe with a HKS 2.8 in it..... *goes to find a tissue*

oscar ill give you a run, mine is still stock turbo and i only managed a 13.4 on street tyres, i have done some more little exst mods since, plus next run i want slicks... I vote 33

32 lighter hey by what 100kg maybe 50kg how does an r33 with only 1260 sound to you....... lets run

R32's are OK, its good to see old cars that are looked after by their senile owners.

R33's are better, they fixed up all the mistakes they made with the 32.

1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to get ready and 4 to go..................

And that is about the truth until the ?R35? appears [if ever].

a point that hasnt been raised yet is that milk and juice only comes in 2 litres!!! :P

lets face it, if you want to pretend that you own a sports/performance car, buy an R32 or a Remote Control car! i know which would go quicker..... (the RC!!!) :(:):)

I drive a 32 and proud of it!

I aint embarrased to drive one at all. Ill take it everywhere and anywhere... (besides dirt)

And someone mentioned taht 32's are cheaper than 33's

Funny that, when i was buying mine, 32's were goin for more than 33's.

32's may hava an older shape.. but the 33's are to round.. like a lil bubble.. haha bubble..

yea.. i vote 32's.. there just a tougher car.

13.4 is a pretty good time on a stocker turbo! I'd be happy with that. If the cars were fully Stocker versus stocker I'd back the R32 though.

I havn't seen Tridents beast since all those juicy parts when in, I imagine that it'd go just fine...

MMMM Mira goodness. Oh yeah, 3 cylinder 650cc love baby :( Love it, 155 tyres, sexy faded paint, clutch squeals in each gear.

Frink!! Only really nasty, cheap old recycled juice comes in 2.5 litres, so there!!!!

Once mods come in, I'll back the car with the most money spent , or spent clever. Mods kinda change the whole thing. :) Besdies, is going fast the only part of the car being "better".

For looks, the 32 is classic, elegant, well thought out. The R33 looks like it needs a diet and some refining - say refinment all the way to a 34...

No one is arguing that a bit of capcity is a good thing, that said - boost is more important :)

MMMMM Tomei 2.4 stroker mmmmm.

2.8 hks..... *more tissues for me*

I really like the look of the R32’s and stock for stock I think they look maybe a little nicer than an R33 (although my opinion sways on this from time to time). However even with the simplest kits the R33’s seem to look nicer than both kitted or non-kitted R32’s IMO. Because of this the R33 is the choice for me, as with only a little bit of external modifications up they look amazing! Just my 2c :(

    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2. 
    • I love saying Samsonas lol. Maybe it's because I secretly want one, but also don't want to sell a kidney.
    • My budget has already blown way out but I've got most of the big-ticket items out of the way haha I just got the box back from the shop, got them to inspect it and install one of those refresh kits with all new syncros and bearings so should feel much nicer. But yeah if there's a weak point it'll be the gearbox, I'm gonna roll with it for now and hope it holds together. Do have an Xtreme organic sprung twinplate clutch to go in so if/when the box lets go I'll be back open for suggestions haha
    • Dose salivating at the prospect of being able to recommend a gearbox upgrade!
