So on my way home tonight me and a F10 550i decide to engage in some fun. All I have to say is WOW I don't see what the complaints are. The car was nimble and hella fast, I couldn't pass him and I could only creep up to his nose at around 135+ I'm officially sold on the F10 and can one day see myself owning one :flame suit on:

Engaging in recklss driving on the streets is a recipe for hurting innocent people. Not good sense bud.

I'm all for road safety but can I ask why you drive a 550 BMW? Why not trade it in for a Prius?

One simple reason I'M A RESPONSIBLE PERSON. Just because I own a 550 and a 09 porsche cayman doesn't mean that I have to act an ass street racing where the other person is not paying attention to what your engaging in. BYW, I drag race sport bikes at the track, not the streets. Just don't need to see other people getting hurt on the street.

Which model do you have? Can't tell from the pic. But even if you have the 550, I'm surprised you were even able to creep up to the nose of an F10 550. Figured those things would easily pull away from the E60 550.

It's a 545 I was shocked too, he never was more then a car length ahead, still never passed him as we both maxed at 150
