Default Lost to a BMW M3

Now I'm playing outside my league, but oh well. Lost hard to a BMW M3....pretty sick looking, had some nice body color rims. Ran from a dig to about 60, was behind by 4 or 5 car lengths when we shut down. We were just about dead even until he shifted to second, then he was gone. I guess I put up a decent fight.

Recent record: 3 and 2
Wins:
Riced out Honda
BMW 325i
New Dodge quad cab Hemi
Losses:
Lightning
M3

I need to get that 6.0 going to I can run with the big dawgs! Damn house down payment! Maybe I should just live in my truck.

It was a new one...dunno what the years are, but I haven't seen many like that. I would put it at an 04 or 05. Looked like this, only black with body color rims



Had to find a pic from the back cause that's all I saw....

M3's are quick. I tried to get my mom to buy one, but she got the 330ci instead.

The previous gen M3's run a 13.6 out of the box, the new one's, no idea but the regular 330 is doing a mid to high 13 too.

The new generation M3 has 333Hp and weighs about 3300 pounds (unless convertible). It has a high revving engine and doesnt start making power untill after 3000 rpm and pulls strong to 8000. The previous M3 had 240 Hp. Dont remember the Hp of the 330 but it is not runing in the 13's. Maybe a mid to low 14. The M5 also runs good for its size with 405Hp. The next generation M3 will be a V8, not sure of the horsepower yet and next generation M5 and M6 will be 500+ Hp V10.
Just some info on the BMW if you want it.

I used to sell cars and as soon as I drove a 740 I was sold even though it was 4 years old at the time the thing was so smooth and ran so well it was like driving a velvet train the thing fealt like it was on rails I couldnt believe how it cornered for such a heavy car. The germans put out some sweet machines
