Model Year: 2004

Engine: 530i

Okay while on 95 North today heading to Kings Dominion to pick up my daughter i was seriously out gunned by a cadilac cts V8 edition with duals that sounded like a race car and accelerated like one also from about 80 he down shifts and stomps it, of course i do the same but know where near the verosity of his load. I did however catch up at about 120 but i believe(know) he could have beat me up till his limiter kicked in. So what i need is for one of my big brother 545's or 550's to find the guy. Black CTS with learjet on the plates and show him some good ole german power and acceleration. Thanks big brother MOM always said you would take care of me little brother 530.

What you encountered was the CTS-V with the Corvette engine. I don't think the 545 nor 550 can take the CTS-V. A modified 550 might have a chance, but definitely a M5 can do the job.

Motor Trend - CTS-V

You need a M5 to go up against the CTS-V

Okay then we need to go get uncle then Grandma told Mom to tell me uncle would take care of him and me. LOL well what i did notice is that the car did not handle all that well i think that he did not make minsmeat out of me was because of the curves that we encountered but when we hit that straight damn. Well anyway my car looks better

The moral of the story....

If you have such a big ego, you need to just give in and get the M5.
