New BMW 550I -vs RX7 GT500R

ok, so cruising home watching a video cause there's no radio reception in south OC and a brand new BMW pulls up. Normally I just blow it off cause I don't like street stuff but he kept pacing me. Then he pulls up a bit to show off he has a new beamer (no plate). I couldn't tell what series (untill I got home and looked it up). SO then he pulls back andi I keep trying not to look. So, screw it the road opened up and I down shift to 4th but still same speed cruise. He hears the downs shift and punches it. ok, so I "allegedly" down shift to 3rd and floor it and catch him, shift again and hit 140 ( I think he shifted in to reverse "lol") at which time fog rolled in and I dissapeared like a movie "lol". ...at which time i wet myself "allegedly" and slowed down to 100mph.

The best time to watch a video is when it's foggy. You can't see the road anyway, so what the hell!

Stay safe dude, don't let those douchebag tailgaiting BMWs get to you.

A 335 is marginally slower than an E46 M3. No match for his setup.

i've read that the 335 (when they did a side by side compare) that they are almost equal. ALMOST meaning sometimes the 335 won, and sometimes the m3 won. 1/4 mile and 0-60 they are almost in the same range. i think i was on e46fanatics.com where someone posted their times with both stock cars.
