Default Newish Beamer

i was next to my friend in his starion, who was next to a girl i know in one of the newer bmw's, i think its like an 01+, vert

anyways, i took off hard, and got to about 3rd gear, look over, and shes catchin up, i obviously pwnt her on the takeoff, but goddamn, what do those things have?


i still think my cars not running to its full potential tho it seems like it just falls flat around 3k, and third gear, i need to get it dyno tuned.

as a follow up if I had to take a wild guessit was prolly a 330i or a 540i...

not to be an *** but theres ALOT of sedans out there that will catch you after a launchwith that 89MPH trap speed

I agree. My truck ran 88 mph traps with just an exhaust and drop in filter. 00-04 323 & 325's are dogs. 330's are fast!

i searched and i found what it looked like, and it was a 3 series, so im guessing the 330i, they have the same rated hp, but probably alot less torque,which would explain my pwnage on takeoff and her catching up


my guess is also that, i need to learn to shift faster, because we were even (meaning i was a little ahead, we were accelerating about the same) but she would gain a bit when i shifted, BTW, i shut off pretty early, going down a hill that had a nice little curve halfway through, but yeah..

my guess is the 2001 330i vert ish thing

oh yeah, i also forgot to mention that after i started to slow down, one of the brand new beamers (keep in mind, my school is a bunch of rich ****tards whos daddies will buy them any car that they fancy, thats what happens when you go to a school on the outskirts of like the second richest county in the U.S. [Rancho Santa Fe]) came and did a ricer flyby (he was like 3 cars behind at the light, i guess he wanted some, but i probably would have gotten ****-slapped.

and the starion did a flyby too, i just laughed, because i was slowing down, had to make a left at the next light

Those 335's make peak torque at like 1,500rpm. Those 2 tiny turbos spool up FAST. Talk about a flat power curve
