Messed around with a 95-99 M3 2 dr on the highway

Was driving back from Madion on I90 and messed around a few times with a last generation M3... I pulled away a few times but I did have to shift over 6000 to do that... When I shifted around 4600 by accident we were pretty even.

Auto or stick E36 M3?? A 5MT should have at least hung even with you.

Not a 2000-2004, the boxier previous generation. I could not tell but I think he was stick. A new one would walk me they run at least a half second faster at the track and I'm sure a new one would put 5-8 cars on me from a 70 roll.

The boxier one is the E36 platform. The current one is the E46. If it was SUPER boxy, then it was the E30 (late 80s/early 90s).

Sorry, I'm not up on those designations.

It was a 95-99, and I did for sure pull on him at least twice of the four time we messed around.

I just raced one of those models last night.. 95-99. AFter checking car-stats a 97-98 runs 14 flat on 1/4 mile... 95 runs mid 14s so maybe you were running a 95 or 96.

I probably ran a 97-98 because he pulled on me about 1 car and half on me up until i got 1/2 car length behind..at 110mph

not bad with Intake and exhuast
