My E60 535i seemed much quicker than the Merc but how could two cars with nearly the same HP be so different?
Because the x35 turbocharged engine really has about 340hp! BMW are a bunch of liars!

The best 0-60 for a recent CLK 500 that I could find is 5.7 seconds. So a 535, 545, & 550 should be able to take it.
That sounds pretty accurate. The E60 seemed to pull hard at high speeds compared to the CLk

we do have 330 stock hp.. you know that? Its underrated from bmw.. little less because of our restrictive stock exhaust...
NICE KILL though !

Thanks. I've read that our cars have more than 300hp...after that run it seems realistic.

Yeah, gotta say, MB gear box is bad. I guess!!!
As previously stated in one of my threads. I was about to race an E240 2001 against my 520i 2005
We re both 6cylinders, and around 170 hp.
When i installed my SB, we decided to race. And yes, I WON. He has a 2.4L whereas i have 2.2L. I had doubts im gonna win but i ended up winning!!!!
So, no big surprise that U KILLED THAT MB
GOO BIMMERSSS
