Exclamation 525i

*note it is a 2005 525i anything more powerful and i would call on myself*
So I'm leaving the theater after watching the Fantastic 4 (Jessica Alba is ) and feeling the need for a lil' speed...I come to a light planning on taking off quick but not racing anyone at the same time a white 525i...I didn't even look over and I gun it off the line not floored but quick and gradually floored it...I look over and he's at my back door...so I floor it and take it up to 7100 (I shifted early)...still have the half car on him....2nd same thing we go over a slight hilland I look ahead and the lights red and I hit the brakes at about 70....he flies by me and has to slam on the brakes locking up his tires to save himself from running the light ...and I come to a nice easy stop shortly behind him...obviously taunting because I just defeated the all mighty BMW in pretty much a 1/4 mile (not by much but it still counts)
Cliff Notes: raced and beat '05 bmw 525i by half car length in just short of a 1/4 mile...just wanted to share

yeah you beat him but am sure he'll walk away from you given it another 5 miles or so because his beemer is very stable at high speed.
