Raced 1992 BMW 840.

And what you think? I lost of course

We started going from the line. I got good start was even on 1st gear, as soon as I got to second, that is when he started to disappear. BMW was like a rocket. I gave up after 3rd gear.

Hey Mr Turbo Audi and Gabo3k, how are you doing? Remember me? I am the dude on Red CL-S. We met on Tampa and Northoff station.

When are we going to races? I will try to come without my GF so she wants give me hard time anymore.

Thanks
Denis.

Be smart and Don't do it. Keep racing of the streets. go to the track.

I raced lude on track and I beat him all the time. It was manual.
And CL-S got better handl.

Hey what's up Satellite 23!

Gabo here.

I've talked to Mr. Turbo Audi here and there! We should organize another meet to talk cars and stuff.

840! My cousin had the older 840 V8. Nice car, good looks, but ridiculuous when repairing any little thing. That's why they are so soft on the market. Specially the 850 V12. Really fast though.

Drop me a line sometime. Later!

Satellite:

Are you sure it wasn't a 850CSI? I don't think that a 850 even can pull away that hard from you.

I have a feeling it might be the CSI you just went up against.

* Made by BMW M-Werke 1992..1996
* S70 V12 2xSOHC 24 valve, 5567 ccm, 10.1:1
* 280kW(381hp)@5300 rpm (before chip-tuning :-) )
* Max torque: 550 Nm at 4000rpm
* 6-way stick-shift
* 0-100 km/h in 5,6 secs
* 0-200 km/h in 21 secs
