I've seen it and it would be quite interesting to match that against the S8...

Now the truth from the guy in S55

Its only when he started fiddling around with his dashboard
"Let's see.....NAV says I am pretty close to the address....where the h ell is this place"


So we both take off, he gets a little head start
Pulls the M5 off the line for fun then decides.....he's learned his lesson.

on shifting in 3rd, he was gaining on me slowly
"this guy just won't give up, well, time to hammer down again"

But.. to my total surprise, by 4th gear he stopped gaining on me
at 145, S guy figured this was a waste of his time and backs off. Not everyone likes "let's take it to 185...last man living wins" ricer style races

I slowed down and he overtook me giving absolutely no gesture whatsoever....
"Okay so just to confirm, you have me in Rome at the Westin Excelsior Villa La Cupola Suite....fabulous, thanks. Hang on a sec please....what the h ell does that BMW want now...I though we ended this miles ago. "

That seems like a reasonable description of the events.
