E550 vs 540i

I was heading home from work yesterday and ended up behind an E550 Sport. I was just minding my own business keeping a good amount of space between us, but we came upon some fool doin 65 in the left lane.

The E550 just sat behind him for a short while. Me, being the impatient fool that I am, went for the pass in the middle lane.

As I switch lanes the E550 cuts me off and goes for the pass as well. I go WOT and get right on his ***. He then goes WOT (at this point he was 1CL ahead) and immediately starts pulling away. We stayed on it till 105 and by that point he was 3-4CL ahead of me.

Fun times. I thought it would've pulled away harder than that considering it has 100HP on me. It was nothing like the time a CLS55 beat me down. That thing was putting so much distance b/w me and him so fast that I coulda been in reverse going to opposite direction; except I was WOT in 3rd.
