So, your buddy took off on a M5? And? I hope your buddy didn't tell you he beat the M5. If so, there must be some super heavy mods that is pushing the r32 over 500 HP. Didya know that your 530i weighs less than the r32? 3472 lbs 530i vs 3513 lbs R32. Horsepower is about the same. 255 HP 530i vs 250 HP R32



As for the SRTs, I don't recall anyone here taking one on yet. Some uninformed Chrylser 300c-SRT folks are believing they can take an e60 M5. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=81926

I'm so in for one

However, I'd definitely have a 130i over the R32.

I love the R32 exhaust note.

Messed with an EVO 9, but we were in traffic and it was late night. I was lookign for some fun and lucky me i found it. The guy was rolling in front of me at 50-60km/h and when he saw i want to play he floored it to 150+km/h. It seemed pretty close. Coldn't pass him but neither he was pulling away. Also drove at 70% (as in skills not heavy foot) because of the medium traffic.
R32 should be nice

naw they didnt even go at it.. he said the M5 cut him off twice. then he just switched lanes and downshifted and later when they were side by side the M5 gave him a thumbs up. naw he couldnt beat an M5, but im sure he could beat me though. he's pushing about 290. and shoot i didnt know that i weighed less though haha i learned something new today.

so im just chilling with my friends last night.. my homie with the .:R32 and another with a GTI.. went to carson where my homie with the R32 lives and went for a ride in it.. holy crap that thing is fast in a passengers view. got one race in but it was only against a civic.. the driver got mad cuhz i guess my homie showed him up in front of his girl. then went back to his house and got my car and we drove to long beach town center at around 10 pm. after we exited the 605 he wanted to launch against me. i was surprised... we were actually even throughout the launch. we didnt get to go too far to see who would be pulling because the entrance to long beach town center was just right there. but damn. his golf R32 290 hp vs my 530i around 260 hp? he said it was a good run all in all.

anybody care to share their experiences with other cars on the road?

I've raced with a r32 with my 630i in Singapore. Raced from 0-120km/h.. I lost about almost a car length. I'm not sure if he did any mods to his car but it seems that he tuned his exhaust.
