E55AMGGG04

I was driving home and 10 mins before I dropped off my cousin I was telling him how when I see a performance car I try to provoke a run but no 1 ever trys to provoke me the way I try to do to others.

Well of course I'm crusing at maybe 40-50mph and I see in my mirror a e46 M3 with some tint mods and stuff an exhaust or whatever. He was coming at a higher rate of speed then me and stops right next to me . I hit the throttle aggresively to let him know I'm game and he gets side by side again and I look over and he has the enthusiast smile on.

Well he hits it full throttle and so do I right after and easily and quickly gained and left him 2-3 cars behind me before I shutdown. He came back side by side we gave each other the thumbs up and went our seperate ways lol. Nothing like a friendly run. BE SAFE guys. .

...you got watch those crazy e46 M3 owners...they think their cars can beat everything else on the road.....seriously though sounds like it was good honest fun

jturkel

nice!

Nice run, I owned both cars in the past. The M3 E46 is a beautiful car IMHO to this day but it has nothing on the W211 in regards to racing- unless its got a turbo or SC under the hood.

ahaha yeah thats for sure but it's always fun to bump into a enthusiast make a quick run and give each other the thumbs up lol. If I saw a Lambo Murcialego I would still try to race him even knowing the outcome lol.

Lol! The e46 M3s can't even keep up with my stock NA Clk55. I could imagine the E55 komp doing a beating on the e46 m3s

I think those drivers are moving onto another car...haven't seen many ready to race M3 drivers recently.

I spotted a black one a few days back, got him at a red light, thinking awesome. Turned out to be a very scrawny asian guy, dressed blandly, who wouldn't even look over. I chirped the tires a bit and sped off, he slowly wound his way in. Bummer.

To OP: Nice kill

Funniest thing; me and my friend were driving back home in a rental ML350(the E63 was in the shop for the day)...As we are going along, we see an E46 m3 vert. We're going a bit faster than him, so as we are about to pass him(younger guy, prolly around 20), he speeds up. So we just look at each other like "is this guy serious? he really wants to race us?"...So we speed up a little more and so does he...Finally we just start laughing, and my friend floors the ml...He hears us do that, and he downshifts and tries to pull away from us...The funniest part is that he BARELY pulls away; hes got a manual E46, and is very obviously a HORRIBLE driver...Just before 10.0mph, and with him about a car length ahead, we shut it down, and laugh all the way home at how ridiculous a situation it was...I guess he was REALLY bored.

I really like the E46 M3's with the big brake option. But pitting one against an E55 kompressor is just suicide. I understand you experience driving the E55 and not getting challenged often. I have the C32 and before that the C36 and I was almost never chellenged in them. Yet, I also have a much racier looking but slower MR2 turbo and I can hardly ever get out in it without somebody attempting to race, lol. I guess they look at the AMG sedan and assume that it is slow (or they look at the /////AMG badge and know better??). Do the SL32/55/65 owners have this issue also? They at least look more sporty.

^ +100000! I bought my RS6 back in November and have had very few people challenge me (and mine's bright yellow, so it's no sleeper). But almost every time I've test-driven an EVO or STi, I've had someone rev their engine at me/wanna play. It's annoying, where are these fools when I'm in my RS6??? Or test-driving an E55

That's like me saying, those CLK55's can't even keep up with my 4cyl A4. I could easily imagine the E55 komp getting a whooping by my A4 too.

Pointless. Do you ever listen to yourself talk?
