U think i can take my brothers 7 series?

my brother traded his famed 00 ITR #1213 (stolen during test drive from dealership after trade, found stripped) for a pre-owned 00 BMW 740i w/ M wheels. Now, i've driven this car and it handles sweetly, fast as fuck too. Off the line, what do u think his car can do against mine? What about at highway speeds?

What are your mods and his? You should be able to take him from 0-60 and maybe higher (edumacated guess). But his v8 will eat you alive for sure @ ~90-100+

If your bro has the 740i sport package it comes with a higher stall tc and a 3:15 gear ratio. It will be a good race to 60 and then thats where the 7 series starts to really move. Race him from a dead stop and not a roll. That will be your best race.

Damn I didn't know it came with a higher STALL. Yeah you better just race him to 60 and then shut it down.

I beat a 740 sport in light to light racing. I would kill him from a stop but we only raced until 65-70 each time. The guy looked to be about 50 but was one cool old guy, he gave me props and said my car was fast.

Only on the 740i sport package. I believe the 740iL sport got rims and tires, but i know that it didnt get the tc and gear. MT tested the 740i sport at 5.8 0-60 and 15.8 in the 1/4......something wrong there

I got owned by an old guy (talking 70's here) in a 740i w/ Sport Package. I wasn't expecting a race so he got a good jump on me and I could not close the gap. For such a big car, those things are quick. If you get a good start, it will be a good race.

My car 1/4's in high 14's, low 15's. I raced my buddy's dad's 740iL with the Sport Package and that thing moves. 0 to 60 I owned him up until about 110 I had a few cars, but then he started to catch up, and at about 130 we let off, I was still about 2-3 cars in front of him, so I don't think you'll do that poorly. I did race a member on here's CL-S and we were pretty close to even at high speeds
