Well, from another post just a couple of days ago you had apparently hit a pothole and had bent rims and bubbled tires. Perhaps that had something to do with it.

But I thought the V8 would keep up during high speed runs...
Maybe his M3 was modified???

In the uk my BMW dealer went to a launch day for the 535d sport, a 535d sport and a M3 were neck to neck around the track and the M3 had a fration of a second at the finish line, now considering that the M3 is much lighter than the 535d sport it just go's to show that in real driving the 535d sport is a impressive match for the M3.

I went up against an M3 at the 1/4 drag strip. He we only 0.4 seconds faster than me, which isn't huge in my opinion given the very different natures of the car. I look forward to doing it again once chipped!
