Not sure if a 535 can take down a G37 but a 545i can.
The 535 and 545 have a difference in 0-60 and 1/4 mile times of about 0.1s-0.4s.. but the 545 can beat a g37 and your not sure if a 535 can?

I'm not sure if the 535, 545 or 550 could beat a G37, as swajames said, I think it depends if it's from a stop or rolling start.. but I think from light to light the G37 would have the edge.

Standard! LoL
The Escalade is surprisingly fast!

My buddy in his 04 350z wants to line up. Bone stock other then new tires and an exhaust. I think he'll definately take me 0-60mph, but once were at about 80mph I think I'd pass him quicktime!
i have a friend that does SC installs on Esclades.
Those cars can be mad crazZzy...

I raced a G37 and he kicked my ass at upper speed (past 95mph). I have a 550i (although it was just flatbedded to a dealership)
Being a steptronic, you might have been in the wrong gear. G37 are fast, but for a stock, you should not have any problem.

Nice

I was reading on a stang forum.. topic was "Could my 07 gt stang beat a bmw 535?"

A bunch of fools replied "with ease".. "no problem". Lucky I wasn't a member on that forum It's a known fact that a 535 can out perform a gt stang in any form!

I had a 2000 GT stang, and the 535 is waaaay faster! My 04 WRX STI on the other hand was a different story..
