My Ride: 2004 March E60 530i, Titanium Silver with Black Dakota Leather, Style 124 18" Alloy, Active Steering, Adaptive headlights, Auto-Dim Int+Folding Ext Mirrors, Auto Aircon Advanced, Brushed Aluminium Trim, CD Changer, Comfort Seats, De-Chrome, Dynamic Drive, Electric Glass Sun Roof, Graduate Tinted Windscreen, Heated Front Seats, Natvigation Professional, Sport Steering wheel, Sun Protection Glass, TV function
So I was driving back home from work last night, I cut into the fast lane to overtake slower traffics in the middle lane. There was a 1 series behind me also cut into the fast lane. I was doing about 90mph, he then getting really close to my ass. When the middle lane is cleared, I've moved back into the middle lane and floored it. As a auto, it flick to 5000rpm, and I thought I would have left the 1 series off my ass.
But no, he stayed in the fast lane and over took me. I was still on the floor. It thought WTF???
As he drove pass, I realise it was only a 120d.

That car has a brand new registration, so it should only be a few weeks old. Can't see and body work modification, so I don't think it has been. But that's only what I think.

d models could have remapped engine software. for example. the 535d could have remapped software and it could be pushing out a lot more power enough to destroy a m3 or 550i

He probably had a manual and dropped so that the turbo was on full boost.
If he'd been to DMS he might also have had 208 bhp - which is not to shabby in a little one series.

120d (254bhp race version though) came 5th overall at the nurburgring 24 hours.

Once the 2.0 litre diesels get rolling they are pretty quick - from a standing start you would have no probs, but between 90 or a 100 I can see him sneaking past.
