Why don't you guys just whip them out and see whose is bigger? That might be easier on your schedules and more environment friendly (well, don't get too friendly)!

Have you guys not raced yet? How hard is it to make a couple 0-60 runs, this post is obviously some fraud. Do you think people really care that much to make up a race between a 535 and a 550. Now if it was a m5 v. a moddeed 535 or something fun that would be worth it but why have this 3000 viewed thread if your not going to just race already-lame

rwb, it seems from reading a few of your recent posts this morning that you're beginning to slip back into your old ways...

Maybe he was trying to set up a "race" between a 550i and a 535i?????????

The 550 was faster, that's why we haven't seen results posted.
I think too much personal pride is on the line with this thread to not post the real results. From the pure perspective of a 550 vs 535 I think the two camps are equally interested in the outcome , but from stock perspective the outcome will be predictable .Adding in all the the potential variables like weight reduction tactics, driver abilty ,tire prep etc could very likely alter the outcome.I'm sure this race never happened ....... but when it does, let's hope it is stock vs stock and really really close..........

Explains why the cop keeps appearing when these guys are about to race though!!
