A buddy offered a challenge for a drag race at the track... he owns a BMW 335i stock, and my E55 is stock too... should i do it? Oh and his is automatic

 

dooooooooooooooooooooooooo it

and bet that clueless sucker $5000 !!

 

Hell, bet him the pink slip.

 

ROFLMFAO... YAY, butttttt... just check out the specs on it, this is what's making me think.

BMW 335i Specs
C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 4.9 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 12.1 sec
Zero to 140 mph: 26.7 sec
Street start, 5–60 mph: 5.5 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.4 sec @ 106 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 145 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 156 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.91 g

 

are you going to magazine spec-race or actually take the car to the track?


if you know how to drive on the track and launch properly, your E55 will own that 335. 400ft lb of torque >>> 335 . you've dragged a lot already, right?

 

ROFLMFAO, nah I'm not going to magazine spec-race... and yup, I've done it before... but specs are intimidating especially since I've never driven a 335.

 

335i got 300hp twin turbo engine and a tiptronic(spell?) automatic so you so you might have a chance if he don't know what he doing.

I test driven one when it first came out and it fast! not M3! fast but still fast

 

 

Everyone on here has said nice things about the 335i. Saying it is very quick...I would try it, but I don't know the outcome. I bet you'll both be surprised.

 

No butter, please.

 

Yup, lets just hope! HAHA... He doesn't know how to launch an automatic car properly either... haha! YAY for 391 Torque! haha

 

Actually, I hope you video this as I have seen many a new 335I recently on my way to work.

 

No camcorder... funny how I can afford a E55 but not a camcorder, I don't even have a digital camera. ROFLMFAO

Well today, he took me for a spin in his 335 (it was pretty quick) and I took him for a spin... he agreed mine's was faster by alot and backed off. Looks like I WIN by him wimping out. ROFLMFAO

 

I have a miniDV camcorder and a few digital cameras just let me know when and where, lol, no excuses now, lol...

 

yay u get to call him a pu$$Y for the next 10 years

will you get to kick him in teh ballz b/c he wimped out?

 

ROFLMFAO... let's see what happens, lemme tease him...

 

......unfortunately the newer cars such as the e550 and BMW 335i are faster than the stock e55's CLk55's and M3's. A stock 335i will probaby beat a stock W210 e55 and a stock M3.

I have mixed feelings about that. I raced a new M5 a while back. And off the line I got the jump. I took him to about 60mph before he started to pass me. I also took M3 conv. I think it has alot to do with driver, pavement and how well you launch. HP & torque is great as long as you know how to race.

 

Pops has an E550 and as quick as it is it doesn't feel quite as fast as the E55. But maybe it's because his suspension is so much softer.

 

335i vs W210 E55 stock = close race.

The 335i has a curb weight advantage of almost 200lbs while the torque of the E55 will get it off the line.

I'll let you borrow my car and just tell him it's stock. LOL

 

This would be hilarious, as would be the look on the other guys face.

 

ROFLMFAO... I'm sure I'll enjoy the look on his face! HAHA

 

I'll tell people your car is stock if you let ME borrow and race it, lol...
