My coupe beat an M5 this morning on the way to work. Funny thing is, I didnt know they made a 2 door automatic M5. or at least thats what the back of the car said. Stupid Drivers

Are you sure you weren't playing with a mis-badged 528ci? If people can slap AMG badges on a C240 and call it something else, I'm sure there are similar children with Bimmers.

I'm not doubting you, Timmy, but it just doesn't make sense.

TimmyC230boy

No MB-BOB it was a joke. I knew it was not an M5 the driver knew it wasnt too, it was just funny to put a M5 badge on a 2 door car, much less an Auto. It was like a 325 or something. I mean, I can see taking OFF an M3/M5 or AMg badge to make it a sleeper, but not putting a M5 badge on a 325

MB-BOB

Aaaargh! You got me, dude! Didn't think "M" cars could be had with an auto, but wasn't sure. I just don't pay that much attention to 3-series Bimmers, anymore.

Nice joke.

Rick

Does anybody?

If it was a 3 series, he could have been closer to sane if he put an M3 badge instead! Mis-badging is one thing, but getting the body type wrong is another.

dasMafia

hahahahhahahhahhahahahhaha! f-ing rice!

that is too funny. but odd that they wouldn't go with the less-obvious M3 badge???

maybe it was an S62 transplant.... except it would have curushed your ***...

anyway... good job.

TimmyC230boy

i wish so bad i would have had my digicam with me. that would have made a great picture. that would be like me putting a ML55 badging on my coupe. The M3 badge would have at least been questionable, but M5 was just down right stupid. Nothing against BMW drivers, but this was the typical Bleach-blonde big-boobed young woman/girl driving.

Boo2

This information changes everything, add a point to BMW!!! :p

how come i haven't heard anybody mention about beating a honda prelude with the coupe? they don't belong to the same catagolry or something?

People have commented on racing a few Integras on here but never any 'Ludes.

For some reason only people in VW Golfs and Audi TTs want to race me. Which now that I think about it I've mainly only raced VWs and Audi A4s in my Integra.

Odd...

The older M3's could have autos my uncle has one.
and the new M3's have the "SMG" which can also be an auto if u dont wanna use the paddle shifting.


20FHK02 -

I race my friends prelude all the time hoping oneday i could beat him but i cant. he runs a 15 flat at the track.

once we were both driving at like 40mph and i floored it and then he did and i was pulling on him but then there was a red light so we had to stop but that was the closest i ever got to beating him.

I raced a prelude and had a 3 car lead! ?I was really shocked! i thought the preludes were faster!!! a week ago some disease went in to my brain and i got kicked pretty bad by a wrx... it wasnt even close... but i really wanted to see if the car was really that fast!!! i have race a mustang, civics, integras without any problems! the wrx has been my only defeat so far!

I raced a 2CV6 and lost.

Next time I'll have to look for a 2CV4, they've only got 25 HP instead of 29.

MB-BOB

Oh, that's a hoot, Mike! Do they still make those things?

Mike T.

The last of the 2CVs was produced in 1990 or 1992, in Portugal, I believe. French production had ceased in the mid-1980s.

There are a few gray market 2CV6 Charleston models (2 tone paint, stainless steel hubcaps and h/l buckets, "luxury" interior) in Victoria, near where I live.

BTW, the 6 in 2CV6 stands for engine displacement: 602 cc (woo-hoo!). Of couse the 2CV4 has a 400 cc mill (well, 452 cc actually). See the similarities with Mercedes-Benz? Model designations that are based (sort of) on engine displacement...

Ahh, when French cars were different, those were the days.

20FHK02

hmm... i thought the coupe is comparable to the prelude because they are at similar price range and have similar horsepower.
but apparently the preludes are faster than my coupe

Mike T.

Well, the out-of-production Prelude is about 250 kg lighter than the C 230 K. That explains most of the difference. Of course, the Prelude will fold like a beer can in a serious accident, that's what the extra 250 kg is for. If need a fast car to prove your manhood (in which case I am truly sorry for you, maybe I've already written eunuch, I mean enough), the C 230 K is a poor choice. Real men drive Citroëns and Tatras.

there was one time i saw a young dude have AC, Hamann, Hertage, and M badge on his E36 318i...that was funny and i thought ppl couldn't get more stupid.

I like cooking rice around my friend's school UC Irvine, the ricer paradise. I had to drop off my friend there one day, and I toasted 3 cars on the way out of campus! So easy!

Anyways, on the tag-swapping issue: I noticed lately that a lot of people have just been putting the letter 'M' on their bimmers, without anything else. Unfortunately, I feel this is worse than ricers putting a red 'H' badge on their car to make it seem like it's a Type-R. Owners of euro cars should not have to stoop down to their levels when it comes to modifying cars.

That said, all my mods, except for lightbulb changes, will be under the hood, and in the passenger cabin. Ultimate power, ultimate luxury, that's what modifying euros should be about.

hahaaa! actually i'm just interested in the spec difference between the cars.

there was a Mit. Lancer on the next lane when i was driving down I-880 last night. suddenly i heard an extreme loud exhaust and it passed me and pulled over to my front. then i saw 2 light blinks from the car (signifying a race i guess) and followed by another loud exhaust. but i let him/her slowly pull away (i was driving at 86mph) because i was carrying the most important passenger with me!
