My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.
We played a little tag ass for a few minutes and came upon a red traffic light with no cars at it.
We both floored it at the green. By 60 he was a third car lenght ahead, his tires chirping with every shift, by 90 there was three car lenghts between us. If we were able to go faster the distance would have increased considerably. The sound of the M was fantastic.
We were next to one another at the next light and we both rolled down our windows. I told him his car sounded great and he asked me how much power was my car putting out, I told him I had the Dinan software and it was 384 hp & 421 Ft/lbs gross. He asked what it was stock and I told him 300/300, he said wow and tore off.
It wasn't even close but it was fun.
