Defeated a '08 BMW 328xi
Rolling start at a red light, we were not intending to race but I started adding throttle and he did too and I slowly increased until wot and he followed suit. Luckily my tranny was in a good mood and downshifted to 1st at about 5500rpm (I shiftgated to D1) and went into d2 and d3 at 6500rpm. Right before hitting d3 he fell back, the front of his car about a foot or so behind my rear window. He gave up soon, I had a feeling if he kept gunning my tranny would run out of steam and embarrass me lol. I think it was a 2008 cause he had the amber lens turn signals at front. There was some rough shifting after but went silky smooth soon after a short stop and cool down. That dw1 ATF change, new ngk laser plat plugs and seafoam service was rly worth it! My scangauge reported peak 232hp at 5800 rpm, vs 222hp which was the highest I tested before tune up. I'm at 60,000 miles now bone stock, all original parts (except the usual wear and tear items). The plugs taken out were a mess, no surprise, they were 9 years old...lots of crazy seafoam smoke, I took a video
