Default BMW 135i Kill

So Im on my way home from a local car show when I see a set of headlights flyin up fast behide me. Just from the headlight shape I can tell its some kind of BMW.... So the guy gets closer, then does the fly-by.... WTF, why? Anway, hes already in whatever gear he wants to run from and I just bark the exhaust abit which also lets the tial 50mm vent, just so he has an idea of what hes up against haha. After hearing all that, he was still game.... I down shift from 5th to 3rd @ around 3200 rpm which isnt the best, he honks off and gets a slight jump.... By the end of my 3rd I put his front bumper about 10' from my rear, I hit 4th and go up to 4500 rpm then let off with a soild 3 car lead...... He then drives off like a ****ing idiot.... I did catch back up with him and gave him a thumbs up but all I got was a stink eye followed by him downshifting at taking off.... F em haha... I do gotta say I was surprised how well he kept up with me through my 3rd gear WOT, I was thinking I was going to walk him more, oh well..... BTW, the 135i had some kind of exhaust, it was retardly loud so Im guessing it must have had some kinda of intake with a tune aswell...... Poss that juicebox tune???? Whats the common mods for these things?

He was tuned, bro. Sounds like exhaust mods too. Not sure why he got his panties in a wad though. Good kill man, you just killed a quick 135.

This. They make just south of 400whp tuned. Sounds about right given the results. Nice kill.

Nice kill

Must have put some money into it for him to be pissed like that rofl

I ran one a few weeks ago at the track and it was hitting 12.6@110.. on street tires!

May have been a 1 series twin turbo, not sure if that's the same as the 135i or not but it was quick for a street tire ride.

We ran the same time but I red lighted it and put about 2 cars on him, 3 by the end of the track.

Yep, they already make 290rwhp stock and a tune can add close to 100rwhp.

Funny how the Euro and/or Rice boys usually get butt hurt and most of us regular enthusiasts just get pleasure from seeing another fun car run. Those are impressive numbers you are putting down, nice run.

Throwing a tantrum or getting pissed like that is often a sign of being spoiled. People like that are usually so used to getting their way that they get all huffy and poke their lip out when they get their *** handed to them. I think its hilarious.
