if anything was worth saying it would be that your 535 beat a 550. What you did wasnt rocket science.

And then a boosted 535i will wipe you up the next time around . . . or maybe an M5 . . . or maybe a unboosted 335i or 535i catches you in the wrong gear. . . it's an endless point. Hopefully, it was all safe.

...........................or a 135i when they arrive.

thats a 366hp VS 300hp. almost exactly the same car, in a straight line. what did you think was gonna happen...
nothing to be proud of..
sorry if i sound rude...

I thought the 535 was going to win based on all the comments we get here saying how the 550 buyers are idiots for paying $10K more for a car thats just as fast.

He should be proud, we have been debating this for a long while and there continues to be great interest and participation from this forum.
Usually who wins an impromptu race on the street is the one with the biggest balls. If both were trying equally then thats one for the dark side.
