08 TL Type S(AT) vs 05 Bmw 330i sedan
Hey guys,
Just got home with like 3km race with a 05 bmw 330i sedan with M-Sport pkg(not sure AT or MT) The weather is little rain,but the road was really really wet,was snow rain before an hour. First i was at the traffic light,waiting for green light and i saw my right side mirror,there's a bimmer was coming fast with aftermarket angel eyes on the right side,we both fully stop at the traffic light,when the lights goes green,he push hard,i did push hard too after i hit 30 to 40km/h,i definitely kill the bimmer(like after 50km/h),i keep look at my mirror,the bimmer did not give up even we were at about 110km/h,and after i shifted to the 3rd gear,the bimmer is give up,lucky there were not many cars on the road,cuz the road is like "S",not staright at all,and my tire was like 70% gone,i was scared "will i lose or win",i know i shouldn't try when the weather was like that,it was just becuz the bimmer driver was so cocky. Please comment guys:thumbsup: |
It sounds to me like you're lucky you didn't injure yourself or someone else.

Hope it was like this look below

LOL ... since when launching hard at the stop light is being cocky?

I am guilty of a little traffic light Grand Prix on occasion but running in the rain is pure stupidity. More so if at that temperature, snow to come, either car had summer tires.
Whacking yourself or somebody else is a real bad plan. |

^^^^^
First off I am not criticizing your running out of a traffic lite, enjoy doing it myself when its safe. Just two things, agree the 330 will out handle the TL, my 330 is a better corner turner then my TL was. Problem is if the 330 had summer tires, all sport options come stock with summer rubber, they really really suck when its cold, (sudden break away) more so when its cold & wet. With a little snow on the ground I can’t get up the slight hill to get out of the subdivision. As far as the other guy wanting to go, why be a follower, just pass on the bad ones? If I went with every challenge my tire bill would quickly get out of control. |

Some people are risk takers but as I got older I think I make better choices on the risk. My wife is not happy with me pulling G’s doing aerobatics in a 68 year old plane but I tell her only flybys at low level . I always have altitude & wear a chute when doing anything“risky”.
I'm also good to go up about 80mph, if you hit a radar gun the ticket will be lighter & you can lawyer-up to plea bargain down to no points just pay the $200. For me the other nice thing is a 2nd gear start keeps the tires in contact with the street instead of making incense for the Tire Gods. I only have to make one shift into 3rd @ just over 60mph. 3rd will run to 83mph. The 1st gear multiplication & 370ftlbs of torque is not a good plan street tires in a light car. My normal shift point is 6250rpm on a 7000rpm red line so the engine is not getting all strung out either. |

No Honda will ever benefit from starting out in any gear but first. HUGE difference between a 5AT TL and a 335is when you're comparing available torque off idle.

You're right. Stock TL's make so much power off idle, especially automatics, you want to be careful you don't gas it too hard and wrap it around the nearest tree. Is it possible to start off in third?

He has performance mods you have dress up mods. I think his tires would seal the deal & I would put my bet on the TL 6MT

cuz the road was really really wet lol,and i know bimmer handling is better than my S for sure
On a nice sunny day the 330i should be able to take out the TL-S Auto. And really beat hard after 110 mph. Next :yum: |
I ran E46 330i coupe back when I only had PCD/Jpipe/T.Pipe and SRI we did highway pulls and needless to say it was very embarassing for the 330i :toocool:....By the time I reached 130mph from a 60mph roll he was Bus lenghts behind me.... Must have been so bad for him that when I slowed down to try to talk to him when he caught up, he just flies by me and never looks back:whyme:
