I had an 06 M3 before my 545i and in day to day driving my Dinan 545i feels just as fast. The M3 is an awesome car but you need to get the revs up to get the most out of it. That can be difficult in street driving. The 545i has great low end tourqe. I can get around in traffic, zip into open spaces, a little better in my 545i. On an open canyon road or race track an M3 will shine...

My Ride: 545i SMG with Limited Slip Differential
Model Year: 2005
E46 M3, if I'm not wrong, took 19s from 0 to 200: a 545i is faster.
M3 was a very fast car in the past, but now even a remapped 535d can easily beat it.

never knew that. i always felt the 545i being really slow but this DINAN remap actually gave me excellent throttle response

My Ride: See sig :)
4.4i engines are pretty good overall, i've seen 645 give e46 m3 really good run...
335i's can pwn e46 m3's.. (youtube says it all)
If I can keep up neck and neck with a stock 335i, its only fair to say 545/645 is faster than e46 m3...

definitely agree with the track part. the max speed i ever went to yesterday was 65 mph in 45 mph zone. definitely still speeding but not too crazy.
Merry Christmas, everybody....

See thats whats wrong with today's society, the baby boomer generation ruined things for everyone. They got to party like there's no tomorrow, they got go drag race and it was no big deal, they got to go streaking thru the quad and not get arrested for indicent expose. Now that the boomer generation has grown older, they now implement the laws and rules that makes simple teenage pranks or events into crimes. 
Just a wee bit hipocritical if you ask me, dont ya think.
I say if brabusw209amg thinks he was in control of the situation and from his vantage point he didnt take things too far, then no harm no foul. I surely am not gonna pass judgement.

Does that really qualify as racing? I've done 65 coming out of my driveway.
