raced my old e46 m3 smg... with the 330i

and got my ass handed on a plate ...
at least i was quicker of the line, since he had excessive wheelspin

suprisingly the 330i kept quite well behind it until about 80km/h and then he disappered

what did you expect me to say

I raced two cars this weekend, a G35 and a camaro Z28. I have a 325i and got my ass handed to me both times. The infiniti is so fast even after 100mph. The guy in the camaro wasnt a skilled driver, so I did alright at first, while he was just fishtailing, due to his poor start off. Around 70mph he did catch up, and I couldnt keep up even after a downshift to 4th gear. We were going around 120mph and the worst happen, a police officer came onto the beltway off a ramp. He just caught up and was shinning his bright search light at me, giving me a very generous warning to slow down. He did the same to the faster camaro but he followed him instead! Im not racing anymore!!

My first race ever, was yesterday. I raced an old Lexus IS. From the redlight, I put my E90 in Manual mode. Light turns green, I actually let the guy take off abit before giving the gas. I pretty much smoke him, then as were going down the two lane road. I can see that there is a car in his lane, and he was trying to cut me off so that, he could pass by the car blocking his lane and some how he could redeem himself, but I accelerate even more and beat him to the hole. Right after this, I assume the race is over since there is a heavy volume of traffic. The guy starts tailgating me like point blank and I could see his face, he was pissed off he got beat both times. The IS after tailgating me makes a two lane change, cutting off two cars like fast and the furious style. I was probably going 72 mph in a 30 mph zone. So in the back of my head I was thinking if the cops showed up I would have been fucked. I would still go to say that this Lexus IS was an automatic, since it was so slow off the line.

I'm curious. Will the chips for the 330i from Wetterauer work on our U.S. spec bimmers? I wasn't sure what the differences were between the Euro spec and ours. I would assume that these are for Euro only??

Only problem is that the US 325 is a 3 liter motor. I don't think that particular one would work.
