Wink RaCe?

Who do you think will win a 3.2TL Type S or a 530i?

Been there, done that. Stock for stock, if both get a good launch, TL-S wins.

TLS, anytime, anyday..530 only has 225 hp, and the car weighs as much if not more than the TLS, so with 260 hp, no prob. But don't mistake one for a 540, cause you'll learn a lesson in spankage real quick.

Real quick, as in about 5 seconds as the 540 shows his tail lights to you... :o

Raced a 530i in Staten Island on Father Cap. a while ago. Nothing to worry about. Once you get to 3rd gear in SS you should be about 4-6 car lengths ahead.

I believe that below 100 mph TL-S can keep up with 540 auto and should be much faster that 530. I drove almost all BMW models during recent 745 presentations in NYC and 6-cylinder BMWs do not feel fast at all. Even 330 auto feels slower than TL-S. Those inline sixes are very smooth but nowhere as powerful as TL-S in VTEC range. TL-S should be able to beat X5 4.4 too.
