Raced a 330

This morning, I pulled up to the stoplight at the top of ramp onto the freeway. Next to me was a BMW 330i. I glanced over and saw him looking at my TL. The light turned green and we both took off. I easily beat him down the ramp despite having an automatic. A few seconds later, he passed me. I looked down at the speedometer and saw I was going 90. I'm sure if I had been more daring, I could've kept up with him. But I wasn't about to pass 90 in morning traffic and risk getting a ticket. I will say, though, that the Bimmer is very agile. That guy made moves that I wouldn't be comfortable doing in my TL. But despite losing, I came away feeling really good about my TL. Whichever critic called the TL boring obviously does not know how to drive a car.

If you upgraded your suspension, then you could have done the same moves as him.

Good kill, but I agree, not worth getting a ticket...but how about not worth RISKING other's lives, especially in morning traffic, where nobody is paying attention.

as long as you are type s you a 330i should be no problem for you. work on your suspension and you will be able to do the same moves as the 330.
