Wow. The bypass valve on my blower seems like it's getting louder and louder lately. I was taking my girlfriend home and there as a 5 series BMW in front of me. He was driving like an **** so when we were sitting at a light with me behind, it turned green and he was being a douche accelerating fast, so i did too and you could hear my junx go PSSSSSHHHHHH!!!! Both of us got excited. I got over in the other lane when I got a chance since my turn was coming up in a couple of lights. Lots of traffic, but he slowed down to get beside me, then he floored it all the way up to the car in front of him, which was a whopping 5 car lengths. Think I could have taken him? It wasn't a new one.

 

Was it an M5? or just another 5 series?

 

it was a 5 series. think it was a 530, i know it wasn't an M.

 

What do you have a Cobra?

 

look at the mods list! that should tell you what i have!

haha.. anyway, i have a vortech'd 04 GT. 354/384 RW

 

Yes, hell I would have that car with my mods!!

wow.. i thought the 5 series were a lot faster than that. i know for sure it wasn't an 05 either. it didn't have that more rounded look that they have.

 

Yeah, now if you ever come across an M series, i would be wary, new models that is, im guessing 2001 and up. Where i used to valet, I drove a few newer ones. The acceleration in those puppies flat out scared me, and i didn't even get them on the street, just to a parking garage!!

 

i came across a new M5 a week ago. didn't race him, but got to see him take off. i was just getting out of a pocket of traffic on the highway, a common bottleneck point where everyone guns it after they get out. that car moved like no other.
it think they have 500hp NA on a 5L motor.
