I never said I won, please read my post again. I wish I had

And for your 192 hp engine on a automatic transmission car, I think it is very close to the 523iA, with 0-100 of 8.7 sec, and max speed of 233 km/h compared to 9.3 sec and 232 km/h. Remember all of these numbers are measured with 16" non-RFT tyres.

The straight line run was done on the road to the airport, which - at that time of the night - is completely empty with no intersections even.
Had a very nice visit to Egypt last month (off topic)

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
Still saying that the 523i (N52B23) is only a bit weaker and than the 525i (N52B25),
and that in high revs.
Also the factory given tech specs for the 523i are a small understatment.
BMW needs the 30 kW differance to ask for the extra $, ? or €.
In a race the tyres makes of course a differance, as the chassi (sport or standard),
and the engine power, but most of all, in a street race, the more crazy guy wins (in the short run.)
