I bought a car recently and I wonder whether the car full power or not...

I think this is performance related not wheel spin related, I think he is saying that the car is underpowered and looking for some help.

Z3Mroadster if this is the case your car should do 0 to 100km in less than six seconds.

It is possible that the lack of power.
The problem is that I do not have anybody to compare...know factory 0-100 5.4 s

Also, to be able to do that on a drag strip takes even more power/torque than on a regular road so you should have no trouble breaking your tires loose going into second gear! JIM

I measured the pressure the Vanos...

At idle on cold pressure is 102 bar...

At idle on 90° pressure is 101-102 bar...


When suddently I add gas pressure drops to 85 bar and sometimes on 70 and again go back to 100 bar...


Do I have a problem?!

Vanos is repaired prior to 8000 km in Dr.Vanos!

any problems with the drive chain?

exactly what Miller said ,,,,you need to find out where the power loss is instead of just replacing parts,,,,this power loss could be anywhere from the engine all the way down to the rear wheels
