Stomped a BMW 325i
Driving home from the train station last night I decided to take the long way around due to traffic and ran into a 325i. I don't know if it was the E46 or E90 based 325i but it wouldn't have mattered either way. This metrosexual type dude was driving it and kept giving me the stink-eye and revving the Bimmer. The road was clear and I was in my typical cranky mood after work so I was game. Went from a slight roll off the light up to 90 or so and put a good 5 lengths on him. I slowed down as I got into town and he rolled past me and wouldn't even look over. I was going to ask if he had a tune or anything because I did notice a ricer-ish exhaust on the thing. Oh well, a metro(homo)sexual Bimmer driver bit the dust.

LOL, my sister drives a 01' 325i. I've driven it and it's pretty slow. I don't think they have more than a 190BHP stock from their little straight 6. That's not a car that should be looking to race by any means. Good job of putting the guy in his place!

I have a suspicion that it was an E90 with some minor mods. From what I understand they can pick up 45hp with just a tune, so that would put it in stock 2v range. I'll have to ask my borther-in-law that has an new '08 325. Either way it was funny, the dude was even rocking the popped collar on his pink polo shirt.

the e90 325, is a 3.0 liter. There pretty quick for what they are, i heard they brok high 14s with it. Also when i did reserach on them back in the day, they seemed to put out more hp then it was stated. Oh ya, it also has better gearing then a e90 330.
