Most Audis are heavy and slow. Start there.
But, OK, maybe most Audis too.

You can't race any AMG in a 530i. Sorry, but if drivers equal, you will be left behind. Even a C32 AMG (V6) is just as fast as a 545i. Remember that AMG = MB supercharged. You can race Camrys, Civics, passats, Audi 1.8 and win by a mile. You can go up against a GS 300 too. Better yet, don't race anybody in a 530i (255 hp).
Edit: Just saw the final words in his posts. OK agree don't try to race AMGs.

I'd probably race an A4 with a slow and heavy adult, now that you mention it.

talking sleeping on the wheel, once I raced a Ferrari (one of the new ones a few years back) in my M3 from the stop light, he reved and reved ..we gunned it and beat him 
jaja only because he stalled 
the 530I has an awesome engine and when I had mine with only 225hp I was able to playe with some cars and found myself ahead.. early g35 4 doors, acura tl type-s before the new style, acura rsx type-s.. that 530 is no slouch..good buy

If you absolutely feel the need to race your car, I'd suggest starting by racing something that's kind of in the same performance class. Like an A6. Or some kid in a 350Z. Or an Acura TL. Or a Mustang GT. Unfortunately, you're going to lose to 2 out of the 4. The 530's a great car; however, if you spend your days trying to race E55s or C55s, in any type of road configuration, all you're going to see are tailights.
