2.2i - What revs should it be pulling?
2.2i - What revs should it be pulling?
Hi All. I've just bought a 2002 2.2i Z3 and was curious to see what revs other 2.2i's pull on the flat at certain sppeds, say 30, 60, 80 mph etc. Could anyone please give me accurate info on your 2.2i's? All the best, KTG1000

final drive
The 2.2 final drive gearing seems to vary with year - some use the same as a 2.8, which is pretty low anyway at 25 mph/1000 rpm in top gear, while some years are even lower.
Look on RealOEM.com and input your VIN number.

That doesn't look right,it would mean fifth gear was less than 16mph/1000rpm.It would mean that your car would only manage 94mph at 6000rpm.trigg35 wrote:used my 51 plate 2.2 sport today and noted that at 3000rpm in fifth the car is doing 47mph. thats what the speedo shows so probably about 44 if i checked using the sat nav gps
The 2.8 is about 26mph/1000rpm in fifth.

rpm
Most UK tests give a 140 mph top speed, and the engine revs to 6250 rpm, which - if it runs to peak rpm in top gear - would give overall gearing of 22.4 mph/1000 rpm in 5th gear.
At 3000 rpm this would equate to a speed of 67.2 mph.

not sure exactly how to describe it but does anyone with the 2.2 notice some slight thing happens at about 4000rpm.its like a very very slight hesitation.not sure if its to do with the vanos but its like something opens or adjusts .sorry for my rubbish explanation!its just something my senses pick up for a split second when i get to 4000 rpm.
