Wanna see what people are working with and how they feel about it! Break out the calculator and tell us: lb/hp ratio of your daily and do you think it’s enough? _\*Keep it simple people, use crank hp and use the unladen weight for your vehicle._ I’ll start: 189 hp in the 325i, 3000 lbs, lbs/hp = 15.9 I think it’s ok, but would prefer to be closer to 10-11 range based on other cars I’ve owned. ---
