When I left for work this morning, I wasn't looking for trouble. Not that I wasn't expecting to beat the cars below, it just felt good to deliver a little humiliation.
![]() In all cases, it was a dry road and we never go much above the speed limit. First Kill: 335xi vs. Acura TL (non Type S) There was a lane blocked off on the left side. 3 lanes of traffic merged into 2. I followed a TL into the merge. I heard him downshift with whatever slushbox he had. As soon as the the lanes widened to 3 again, he takes off and I punched it taking the left lane. He had 1 CL start on me by the time we were around the speed limit, I put 1 CL him. 50 year man, looked dumbfounded....he thought he had a sports car. Second Kill: 335xi vs. E46 M3 Slightly down the road, I was just crusing at the speed limit. This grey M3 zooms up beside me. We exchange nods and both slowed down to well below the speed limit (no traffic around), I was at the top of 1st and we go. By the time we were around the speed limit, I pulled half a CL on him and shut down, he kept going, he didn't want to have a coffee with me. Third Kill: 335xi vs. Volvo S60R 2 lanes merging to 1 at a stop light. I had to beat him and then merge left. Light turns green, we both launch, I bogged a little and had him by 2-3 CLs before I merged over. He was some 40 year old guy who thought he had the ultimate AWD sportscar....he was wrong in everyway. Sorry guys, I am keeping my little mods secret. They are very modest and I am not done experimenting yet. I feel like I have an "X" on the back of my car. I feel like I am way more targetted in the 335xi by others than I am in my M6. I LOVE my 335XI !!!!! EDIT: I do have an "X" on the back of my car ![]()

As always people are probably going to bash you for street racing but not me!
Good kills! |

I really only get challenged by Honda Civics, bikes and the occasional AMG in the M6. Since I have had the 335xi, I definitely get more dirty looks and challenges. I usually decline any race...the "kills" today are just interesting ways to get up to around the speed limit ![]()

Great to see someone having so much fun with their BMWs! For me it is all about fun - transportation has almost nothing to do with it.

Dude, ever since I got my Vorsteiner hood noone wants to run anymore! I even got passed by a Acura RSX with a bigass body kit and ugly massive muffler sitting out the back. We both ended up at a stoplight. I rev up (which i almost NEVER do, but I had been hunting all night with no good prey). Light turns green.
HE DIDN"T EVEN TRY! guess his car was just for looks...
