2008 BMW M5
So last night around midnighti going down the highway and i see a 2008 BMW M5. So far we are just driving normal. Then he takes off like a bat out of hell and gets 1/8 mile ahead of me and puts on his four ways. So what the hell the road was empty. So I get up to him and i said one pull from 60. So we go, i pull ahead by 1/2 car (didn't get it 4th as quick as i wanted)and by 110ish i was a car length ahead easy. So my sig is what i run in the 1/4 mile. That was my best time at the track i usually run between 13.1 and 12.9 all day long @ 106-108mph. I was just wanting to get a concensus on this run. I would have rather gone from a dig but i will take this, **** it was an M5.
Does this seem like a good kill or did the guy just not know how to drive? These M5's have a 40valve 5.0L V10 w/ 500hp and 360ish tq. I thought it would be like running a C6 vette atleast.

RE: 2008 BMW M5
idk what you have done to your car?? but they run 12.4's i believe... maybe he wasnt in sports drive when he raced you (unless he was a manual if they even make them in manuals)
i really dont know much about those cars so this post is worthless [&:]

RE: 2008 BMW M5
he definately wasnt in the race mode man, my boy Z has an M6 in SD, and lemme tell you HOLY ****!!!!
PS i dont know if the M5 has them, but the M6 has a stick and paddle shifters.....if he grinds a gear with paddle shifters he fails at life and should proptly hang himself

You were right in that thing's wheelhouse. It should've bent you over without lube, your 12.8 notwithstanding. With it's tranny it's just a matter of sinking the right foot so take the driver mod out of it. It was something else...
