so i just got off work and pull up to the light to go on the main road and theres a silver M3 that looked sick. he looked at me and smirked. as soon as we go around the turn we both floor it from 30ish with me a car ahead and we stop at 80-85 with him 1 car ahead. then we get a red light and this guy looked drunk or stoned or something. he was revving his engine and acted all cocky by burning out in reverse and forward at the light. i was laughing my ass off! so then the light turns green and by the end of first, he has 1/2 car on me but then he missed second because i could hear this horrible grinding. so that put me about 1-1 1/2 car ahead and it stayed like that up until about 80-85 where we let off. that made my night beating an M3 but i know i beat the shitty driver and not the car. o well still was really funny.

 

sweet...trying racing a turbo m3...those things are sick

 

nice kill, i loooove M3s

 

why do you think its a turbo?

 

For the difference is price ranges we are decent competition for them....

1987 BMW M3 8.1 16.1
1988 BMW M3 7.1 15.4
1995 BMW M3 6.2 14.6
1995 BMW M3 Lightweight 5.3 13.9
1996 BMW M3 Automatic 6.7 15.3
1996 BMW M3 Luxury 6.6 14.9
1998 BMW M3 Sedan 5.5 14.0
2001 BMW M3 Coupe (U.S.) 4.8 n/a
2001 BMW M3 Convertible (U.S.) 5.4 n/a
2002 BMW M3 4.7 13.4

 

I think he meant to say something like, "Try racing a turbo M3 if you see one"

 

nice with the m3 beating. i raced one once on the highway and the only way i stayed ahead of him was to out drive him ( while my buddy was like doing backflips in the passanger seat lol) but ive raced one from a 40 role and i got nothin lol

 

before any flags are thrown, what year was it?

 

i love the whole bs flag thing we've got goin on here....just makes me laugh everytime its mentioned

 

probably an '03. it is the newest model with the 333 hp engine

 

then no way he would stick with it!

 

Not really. These cars are overrated from the factory, and they are heavy! I seen one dyno at 268hp!!!! Not too much considering it is like 3800lbs+!!!

 

m3s with good drivers and the 6spd manual are is mid-low 13s tho, they are sexy beasts, my dream car, i hope i can keep up with one from a roll

 

He missed a gear, obviouslly not a good driver.

 

I don't care how over-rated or how heavy M3 is, they are solid mid 13 second car and with a great driver, it can go lower.

 

Closer to 3400, but yeah, they are beasts. A good driver in a SS can definitely beat a bad driver in an M3, but stock to stock, car to car, there is no comparison.

 

does everyone realize too that the M5's are 4000 lbs? Honestly, the M series is waaaayy to heavy to compete with a lot of american muscle ( especially the price! M5 is like 80k!! The corvette is 60ish and has a 0-60 of 3.5 sec.. The M5's is 4.7 sec, THAT IS SLOOOWWW!! )

Anywayz, a modded SS/SC should be able to take a M3, theyre so fat!

 

The M5 also carries 5 people and their luggage, and has an interior that makes the Vette look like a Kia, but that's not why people buy it...
