I was driving along from work..and in my rear view i notice a e60 coming hard up my a#$.... so i hit it..... he pulls on my side and hits it as well.... and hes pullin on my like nothing... now i now its not an m5 so im thinking 550...... 
BUT LOW AND BEHOLD ITS ANOTHER 530I.... BLACKED OUT.... THE CAR TOOK OFF AND I COULDNT KEEP UP... 
...
SO MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN A 530I PULL ON ME WHEN ITS THE SAME CAR... WHEN I MEAN PULL I MEAN PULL...

all i can say is he probably has 2004 bmw with supercharger on it. 05 and up doesnt have supercharger because it is newer engine ...
no dinan software because it does not exist ...
so possible upgrade with SB and exhaust and like most ppl said light weight....
or was it 535i instead of 530i?
or were you just dreaming? or drive like grandma?

Did you look at the exhaust tips and see what size they were? Even a BMW 545i/550i can't smoke a 530i the way you have described assuming you were in the proper gear . . . "I couldn't keep up." A SC or NOS i6 will be similar to a 550i (assuming a 40% boost). Describe the pull . What speed and gear where you in when you started the roll race?
