Took out a 540i

This last weeknd I rolled up on a guy, I am guessing, windows were way to dark to tell, and it was night. Nice looking black 540i not the new style, last years style, looked like he had chrome 19's on it and one heck of a system. Before I had a chance to get right next to him I hear him on and off the gas. I pulled him down to about 25mph so I could get in 1st. He took the jump at 25 and by the time we hit 65-70 (in a 40mph zone) where he let off, I had him almost by a fender. Caught a light with him, and same result I got a good launch and I was ahead of him from start to finish again this time by a little more than a fender up to 65-70, again where he let off. Yes I am still stock except for a drop in K&N. Is this normal considering he had 19's and a system???

Could also be an auto and with a system and heavy wheels it makes for a more interesting race.

Wow not bad a stock CL keeping up with a 540.

Nice one! I had a similar run with a 1997 BMW 540i/6 Dinan last month.

Every 540 I come across we're dead even until about 115 and then they leave the shit outta me.
