Was driving back home tonight from TST, and an A3 driver trying to race me for no good reason :thumbsdown:
then i thought i should have a play with him, but damn, the turbo really has advantage in the low rev, he pulls away about two cars length from me
but i am able to catch him at the end. That makes me wanna get the 35i Z4 asap

you didnt shift down a couple of gears? oh I forgot, you didnt need to.
something similar happened to me, a mb XX amg overtook me on the flyover outside aberdeen tunnel on the causeway bay side. I though why not have a bit of fun and stepped on it . the mb braked for the fast left hander, as a result, I caught up, what a chicken, and that kind of tells you the level of confidence I have on bimmers handling, with my 2 monkeys in it!

Yes i did, i shifted to 2nd gear in manual mode and floor it, but that 1.8 turbo still able to pull away from me about 2 cars length. damn it!
That Audi driver must think his 1.8 can beat bmw 3.0, i am gutted
I wont play with the amg though, cos i've driven them and they are really fast on the straight line, although still no match with Mike's GTR![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)

its all in the mind and skill mate. when mansell was driving for mclaren, he was on full throttle longer than his team mate, if memory serves hakkinen and yet slower lap time.
its not the tools, its all down to the mind to go fast

it lies in the knowledge of the road and when u punch the gas,
funny that, all the 1.8t boys didn't even want to look at me!?
i'm gonna test the quattro Q5 3.2 and A5 2.0 fastback next week and will report if they are worthy of battle v E60

Same here! He was slowed down by a car in the front and i was trying to drive side by side and see his fxxk face,
But he immediately floor it again.
Having said that, i am sure you will be impressed with audi's 2.0T engine, i got to say it is fast for a 2.0 liters!!

yes, the vw engine has won many awards, the 265bhp ver is going to be a screamer, now thats something for bmw to beat.
