the roll race, assuming 40mph, you'll lose by a bus. if 60mph you'll lose by 2 busses.

from a stop...he'll put 3 cruise ships on you.

From a roll I think you might be close he has alot of weight on you plus more drivetrain loss due to AWD. From a stop I'd assume you'd lose but I haven't been in an x drive BMW.
Post results.

should be fairly even from a roll maybe after 120 he'll start pulling. From a dig.. fwd vs awd is already a given.

you should kill him from a roll. its a heavy car and i myself have pulled many 380-400whp cars from a roll because they are overweight.

from a dig he will get out the hole much better than you. if you get a good enough launch youll catch him.

awd falls on its face very hard up top too...

^^^ pretty much this. His 500lbs+ weight disadvantage should make it an interesting race.

You're probably going to lose both
However, you may be surprised because of their weight, but they are mean cars.

That's about where the K04 runs out of breath. I still don't think I can afford a Beemer, though.
