3G TL(auto) vs 06 BMW 330(6spd)

Yesterday i raced my friends new 330 and that thing is pretty fast. We are both stock for the exception of my 19's. Ran 4 times, Three from a 30 mph roll, last from a dig. The first 2 times he had 3 passengers. The first time I pulled very slowly but not much. The second time we stayed dead even. The third time from a roll two of his passengers came to my car and he pulled on me slowly but not much. the last time was from a dig and i still had the 2 passengers in my car and he had one And he whooped my ass. Im guessing b/c I have an automatic.
All runs ended at about 85 mph.
Maybe after s/c, he wont have a chance.

1. why would you run with passengers in your car
2. he really shouldn't whoop your ass maybe a car, but having 19's and passengers is your downfall..

They are rated 255 right around where you are rated too so it should be a drivers race.

correct the 06 330 has 255. And we wanted to trade passengers just to see the difference and we couldnt just leave our friends on the side of the road. His car weighs alot less then my TL. AND he has a 6MT.

You guys should've of run them without the passengers. Anyway, all things being equal, a properly driven 330i 6-spd should beat you pretty convincingly, even without your 19's. An E90 330i 6-spd is capable of running in the low 14's@99mph.

You did very good considering that new 330i is almost .5 sec faster than 3G auto.

if both are AT,then would be close and it's drivers race!

i needed a car and couldnt wait 2 weeks for 6mt to arrive. And the swap is not worth the hassle in a 3G. Too many part to change for the limited hp.

Not from what i've seen. The BMW auto is almost as fast as a manual because it has quick shifts and is a 6-speed. 0-60 is around 6 seconds for the auto...about as fast as a manual CLS. Although they are rated at 255hp, they have a better powerband and is lighter. I won't even get into the handling...
