we raced for about a mile...i was in back of him in slower traffic, then we took off...i kept right on his tail the whole way...it was funny...i could tell when he shifted b/c little poofs of smoke covered my baby (he did short shifts - no balls!! )...we did 90 before hitting a hill...downshifted into 3rd and pulled along side him...kid looked over...i smiled, he did as well...we pulled to a light and laughed...we both complimented each other and went our separate ways...now y can't we have more of these friendly races??

Cool, sounds like fun....although I would have trouble concentrating because that LSB color makes me want to Ralph

i have always loved m3 for a long time..either E36 or E46 model will satisfy me.. save up money to buy a E36 m3 or R32 or R33 gtr in the future... but i realize that E36 m3 is a bit cheaper ..compare to gtrs..haha.. always love m power..

i saw one in metuchen yesterday(for people from jersey) i waited by the car for an hour to find the owner to ask for a ride...he never showed up...he probably was afraid i was tryin to steal it

when i was fortunate enough to drive the new m3 every gear had a plethara of power

One part of me wants to say good kill and go on...but the other wants to say how comes our car can keep up to just about everything. HELLO this is a new M3 we're talking about right? I mean it seems like there's no car you can keep stock and beat the CLS.

Tell us another good one!

me thinks the fact that he short shifted all the way through the gears made it possible for me to keep up...im sure if he gave it a bit more juice i'd b watching him half a mile down the road.

You "raced" a NEW M3? You might have been "racing" but that guy obviously wasn't! Sounds like he was crusin' while you thought he was racing. Ah funny post.......

ok, how bout a pleasant Saturday afternoon 90 MPH joyride?? yeah, that's what it was, even tho my foot was on the floor the whole time in 3rd just to keep up with him...and o, what a beautiful car it was (we don't get many new M3's around where i live, only the 3's b/c so many older rich people live around here).

I like the new M3's, don't really like the looks of the older ones. The problem with even the newer ones is unless you are a BMW nut (which I am not), you can't tell its an M3 until you are close enought to the rear to see the emblem. I still like them, but way overpriced.

I saw a 330ci convertible over the weekend, that is very nice. I am now thinking of picking up a used cherokee for winter, the bimmer ragtop for summer. I guess there is a good amount of weight added by the top though, starting from the light the little 330ci was easily toasted, the girl looked pissed. Nice car though, especially in the rear view mirror

the quad exhausts are a big tip off though...

Was this race somehwere in LI. I remember seeing a Blue M3 follow by another Silver BMW.

So are the side vents and the big ass 18 inch wheels...

let me get this straight.. you hung with an E46 13.5 sec 1/4 M3?




a) he wasn't racing you
b) he can't drive for shit

MCHM3

no way,. yo i raced the new e46 when i had all my engine mods and it still beat me by 2 car lengths so if you are stock he would kill you by about 5-7 car lengths

eclipse23

I would use the word race a lot looser in this instance. Sounds more like he was in 4th the whole time with his emergency brake on LOL. I think the term "Paced" an M3 would be more fitting.

MCHM3

agreed

doug

you know what.. the E39 M5 runs 13.2 thats only .3 secs quicker than the E46 M3.. why don't you go see if you can sit 2 car lenghts behind one of those.. and get video.. because i want to see it

you can pretty much always tell if the diff between a new m3 and 3-series. Yesterday I was driving home and saw one getting off the express way quite a ways back and could still tell it was a Blue m3. Im not sure what it is but you can definetly tell, maybe its lowered or has a front lip spoiler but its definetly something
