Looks very familiar - regardless of the "E500" in the vid's title, that's DerekFSU in the black E55 running his wife's M3 (driven by a buddy). I'm pretty sure his car was stock at the time.

I've had an E500 and at the same time owned an 2003 M3. I now have an E55.
That is an E55, there's no way a stock E500 will run a 12.5- at 111. My M3 is a vert and is slower than a coupe but would give the E500 a good run. Both run in the high 13's.

E55
Was there something wrong with the M3? It ran a 14.3. Stock M3s run in the low 13 seconds. I believe 13.2s. For that car to run a 14.3, something must have been wrong with it

As I said above, IIRC, it was a friend of Derek's driving - don't think he wanted to push the M3 too far since it wasn't his.

Beo is correct. Plus it's a SMG convertible. Best it ever ran was 13.99.

My M3 is a convertible 6sp. My wife drives it daily and can drive the pizz out of it. She can definitely get the most out of it. It's quite a bit different to get it off the line than my Vette 6 spd. I would guess it will go 13.60-70 with a perfect launch.
