2g tl-s vs 540i

had a quick run with a older beamer 98-03 bmw 540i. i was driving like a maniac because i was getting late to meet someone and i see this guy kept trying to keep up with me. so we ended up getting next to each other at a light. and i knew he wanted a race. so light turns green and we go. im in gate shift mode thru 1st gear it was a tie then when i switch to 2nd i start pulling slowly and by 3rd gear hes at my rear bumper and then he gave up at around 75mph when i had about a car on him.

i was surprised at the outcome because that thing is a 4.4L v8. i realy thought hed take me

Nice kill. Those 540's can move. I almost bought a 540i 6MT a few years ago but it would've been a money pit.

I think your 6mt would walk away from a 540 auto, a 540 6mt would be close.

Nice run! Those 540i's are no joke. With your mod list the race makes sense to me!

Wait, is there a 545? In the previous gen (to 2010/2011 current) 5 series? Back in the day, when I fully bolted on, I chased a black 545 (or was it a 540?) around an express lane ramp. Going 70, the back tires slid out a bit, but anyways, we ran somewhere from 50 to about 90 and we were almost even, he started pulling away VERY slightly. He was laughing with someone, so I presume he had a passenger, as did I.

Seeing how the 2nd Gen TL-S are quicker than the 3rd Gen TL's, I can see this happening.

Oh, and by the way great kill man! I've raced a few M3s, a 335I, and a 740il that surprised the hell outta me from dig to about 45mph when I started to jog away from him.. I was also a shitty launcher when we raced as I had only had my car for about 3 or 4 months at that time....

I played with one last year but never got to run him. The other M3 were E46s.. I liked the 740iL the most! Oh and I almost forgot... I did race and put about 3 cars on a M roadster.. that was fun..
