JB3 e92 335i encounter with e60 M5
Was out for a nice drive today with my cousin ran into a e60 M5, a younger male with his wife/mother maybe? in the passenger seat. He pulled up along side me at the light(well to middle of my car) and i was guessing that he wasnt going to really try and race, but i did press the DTC button once and put my car in Manual just in case, since it would be the first time i would realli put the JB3 to work on the street aganist a M5.
Things to remember, we both had two people in each car, i had my cousin passenger, who weights around 170 or so, and he had a female who weights low, close to 110 probably. I was on outside lane, he was on inside. His front bumper was at the middle of my car, not directly by myside, i guess he didnt want to line up the right way or was a lil shy. it was 30*F, i have stock Potenza sport RFT tires, which suck in the cold and in general, and about 15k miles on them. Anyways light turns green, i roll into first slowly, thinking he wont really push it but who knows, at about 4k rpms, i hear his v10 start to roar, he jumps since he was at the middle of my car, i instantly floor the car(dumbass move) i spin first into 2nd, car then downshifts back into first, then shifts up again into second, the M5 was about a car length in front by this time, but once my second gear caught traction, i was reeling him in, but not enough until we came up to the next light, but enough to get back to his back bumper. Anyways interestnig story i thought i would share... I really love the power of this car and how i can stick and even pull on a E60 M5. It just amazes me! really does. If i had traction, i would have walked awway from the M5. On the highway might be a different story, but this is what happened tonite. P.s. (NOT 335I VIDEO) here is a video from today me and my cousin got his IC pump installed on his W211 E55 AMG and had a few runs i caught on camera racing with a e46 and E92 M3. The E46 M3 was a easy kill, the E92 M3 was a little fast, but still nothing for the E55. We tryed to pass around the E92 M3 twice, since it was slowing us down, but we had no room, and then the M3 owner decides to slam on his brakes hahah Enjoy! |

E55s are a beast. Saw one at the strip - he had a tune, pulley, headers, and throttle body. NO other mods and he was trapping 125!!! He had cheap street tires too.
That video sucked though. |
