Bmw dont have v6 and they never put in any of the bmw. BMW use inline 6.



My brother is getting an 98 m3 sedan with 5 speed. Its pretty quick. I used to have 9500i but i returned because i was using the 30 days test drive. 8500 and 9500 are the same in performance and 9500i just have slightly better features such as automute, speedtraps, etc. I'll be buying 8500 for highway trips.

there are many stupid drivers on berlin turnpike and route 91 south. They would try to race you at stop lights.

Man I hate people that try to pull that ****. There's an intersection like that in Arlington, and people will pull up to my left, knowing well that it goes in to a left turn only lane on the other side of the light (u can see this), and when it turns green they will floor it and I always just match them so they can't get over lol.

but man I remember pretty soon after I got the new truck with the hemi, some kid in a little convertible Miata pulled up next to me at a stop sign...His girlfriend in the passenger seat looked over at my truck and then up at me and I smiled and nodded at her...I started going and I hear this kid rev the lil ricer and dump his clutch and his tires went EEK for like .1 sec haha. I floored it and left his *** there. They pulled up to me at the next stoplight and I just looked over at his girl and was like man that's really embarrassing for ur boyfriend huh? She just laughed.

Turns out it was some kid my bro knows at school too, lmao.

While I am against this crap in most case, I do feel that the laws in alot of cases against it are way to strict in many places. I also freely admit I have done it myself and been on both sides of the coin, The one doing the laughing and the one feeling like I just had my butt handed to me. Heck, I even got myself pulled over once for doing it, I got lucky though, the cop was a real good guy and let me off with a warning and a butt chewing. I admit I deserved a heck of alot worse that day.

While I only ever do this in extreme cases anymore, Like when I am in the wrong side of a 2 to 1 merge. I do love hearing and reading stories like some of the ones that have been in this thread.

Nice kill bro, im actually surprised that our trucks can beat up on little bimmers on a straight away. In the twist's though well that's a different story.
