Wow, how did this clever and funny thread suddenly turn in to another 550 is better than 535 thread. Apparently some 550i owners feel they have to compensate for some inadequacy in their lives (possibly sexual), so they need to have a bigger engine than others. Maybe 550 owners feel threatened by 535 owners since their cars are almost as fast (or slightly faster from 0-60 with the Dinan chip) as their precious 550's for less money, making 535 owners appear to be more intelligent. Well, here we go...

I was parked at a light listening to this really cool Abba CD when a guy in an orange Ford Pinto pulled next to me. He looked over and smiled, then looked straight ahead and revved his engine a bit. As soon as the light turned green I dropped the clutch and took off like a bat out of hell. He tried to keep up but alas, his 88 horsepower was no match for my V8 and I won!!

First of all, Mr. BMW-guy, I wasn't smiling at you. I had a hair in my eye. Second of all, I wasn't revving my engine. That was the sound of my flywheel scratching against my bell housing. Finally, "I won" is a relative term, isn't it? I think I'm the winner, because I'm the one driving a piece of automotive history.
