1999 740il vs 1995 s500 Showdown! #2
Yesterday at a car meet my freind brougt his 1999 740il and I just had to ask for the race. anyways this is how it started we agreed 40mph roll I beep 3 times and we go. we drive up on route 9 south, rolling at 40 mph. I beeped 3 times and floored it, in second gear I pulled on him by a car, when I switch to 3rd by the time I was at 120 I saw him at my back window. I had him by 5-10 cars I don't even know it was just distance distance distance. There is another car meet today, 9pm route 9 south at the patmark plaza. there is a mccdonald's standing right there.

How much power does the performance chip release into your S500? Cause the power advantage seem a little big too much.
I race an S500 with my all stock 1997 740iL before on the freeway. Rolling start at 65mph. I got the jump on him for 1 car length then went Neck to Neck until the governer on my 740iL stop me at 128mph and the S500 just shoot right by me. The guys was pretty **** cause its got a bigger engine but can't shake me off.
I'm sure it'll pass me at the top end due to the governer and displacement. But never thought I would hang with it until my governer kick in to stop the race.

I don't quite understand how you stood dead even with him...... I raced 2 740il 1 time before I got a chip and 1 time after I got a chip. Both times I took the 740iL with out a problem? were u using tiptronic? I'm not quite sure how you could have possibly been dead even....

s0vietbenz,
I never driven a s500 before and that's the only time I race one. If s500 is so much faster then I wouldn't know. The only thing I know is that I was able to go neck to neck with it at the only time I raced one.
I guess its could be power by a :
- Bad Driver.
- Bad car condition/Bad owner.
- or may be its a re-badege one
