Re: E36 320 not quick off the line
Bro,
Its a little of both. You have an added 700cc but at the same time gained ~400kgs. The GTI in its heyday did 8sec for the 0-100. The BM would be around 10sec at best. The feeling of lightness in the suzuki also amplifies the sensation of speed.
Congrats on the BM.

Re: E36 320 not quick off the line
There is nothing surprising.
The Suzuki GTi is quicker off the line than a E36 320i manual - on paper, as well as in reality.
The GTi was once king of the car park races, together with the early Honda EG Civics (before the WRX and Evo came along, on SG shores, that is).
Put a 320i on the same car park race and the BMW won't even stand a chance (10+ secs, vs the GTI's 8+ secs).
We're talking about 0-100 here, not long-haul maximum speed.

go install a sprint booster and remap your ecu?
had mine done and the difference is remarkable.
they even said they would refund me the $ if i was not satisfied. but so far so good...
am overseas now, but dreaming of my car every night... sigh!

guess. everyone's right.. just a day i had the car. i took it up to genting . started driving at 0330hrs. and boy can it cruise.. i was doing 140 eazy/// up the mountain.. though it was pure.. torture.. really feel the car got not torque low down... whereas my GTI was flying up the hill... remembering the 8k redline..
on the way back was hitting 160 on certain stretches.. and no problem.. gues there is a trade off.
since gti struggles to get 130 on the straights....
