Reposted becuse title did not take.

So near my house there is a BMW dealer right next to my Saab Dealer. The main road they are on has lights but about 2.5 miles apart devided roadway in some areas.

Today I just replaced my BCV, and needed to make a few adaption runs. Pulled the ECM fuse, waited and hit the road.

Car is running nice, 65 degrees. I make one run on the road with the dealerships and hit a jughandle to turn and come back the other way and there in front of me with a dealer tag, and platic wrap still on in places is a brand new 530. The light turns green and we make a left he goes for it in the right lane, testing this brand new car, I hit it and absolutly fly by in the left lane, I can see the sales dude waving the driver on from the passanger seat ( nice suit buddy) and the driver looking over at me then down at the speedo a couple of times wondering like -what is this all about???

I slowed down let them catch up to the next light and they are right behind me. I can see the passenger in the back seat of the BMW looking at the back of my car between the head rests and pointing.

I make another quick run past the dealer and on the way back, pull into the gas station right next to the BMW place. I see two guys talking to the salesguy and they shake his hand, I get in may car and hit the road again, Saw thier car in front of me (Acura RS) leave the BMW place, go about 250 feet put on their turn signal and head into (you got it) the SAAB dealer.

Classic.....

No not yet, still trying to straighten out some mechanical issues.

bmw's are slow. plain and simple (for the most part lol. like the m5's are quick)
Yes but BMW buyers don't know that ( we have to teach them - that is our purpose)

The funny thing is even if you had a stock Aero you would have walked them from a roll )
That's for sure, it was like he was standing still, I think that's what really confused him!

That is awesome! I hope to god he went and bought an aero or Viggen, or new aero even though its a V6, which i despise personally.

That kicks so much ass!

The only BMWs I would tolerate have the M badges on them. The rest are extremely overrated and slow. My friend at work bought his wife a new 325, with the "230hp" engine, and he kept claiming he could walk my Aero. This was after I wasted his Audi A4. He never did bring it in to find out the truth tho, oh well :)

The new 330 with the turbo would be decent and I wouldn't want to fuck with it.
