What is your most embarrassing moment? BMW related or not.
As a change of pace from all the other serious conversations..
example: You pull to a nice lady in your brand new 335i and ask if she needs a ride. She says " No thanks, my Audi RS4 is right around the corner". One night I was riding around on the autobahn here in Germany with a good friend of mine. We approached construction zone and I had to slow down. Upon exiting the construction zone I was side by side with a Dodge Neon SRT. I decided to floor it just for the hell of it. By watching him in my rear view I could see he did the same. I was all "happy-go-lucky" as he couldn't close the distance between us at all. But shortly after that, seeing as I didn't get the ZSP(now regret it) I hit the 135mph limiter and he eventually caught up and flew pass me. My "good" friend still to this day has not let that go  . He was laughing at me for about a good 2 minutes LOL.

You guys have Dodge Neon SRTs in Germany??
 I think thats embarrassing enough j/k Hmmm probably when i was a little bit younger, my friend was in a 325 and i was in my 525 at a 3 lane stop. We were just foolin around revvin our engines when a M5 pulls up next to me, then proceeds to smokes the hell out of us. |

As far as the Neon SRT goes, the guy that owned it was stationed here in germany just like me.. so he imported the car here of course. Europeans would never buy crap like that!

Today, a porsche caymen stopped beside me at a red light. I knew my e90 328i didn't have a chance but just floored it for fun. It was uphill straight away and the caymen beat me on first gear to the last haha.

 , I know how you feel. I often cruse at 130+ mph here in the fast lane of the autobahn. Then all a sudden I get a twinkle in my eye, I look up in my rear view, say Oh %#* and quickly get out of the way of fast approaching porsches, audis, ferraris, and other BMWs .

 Chick: (now exiting car) Well enjoy limping your ass back to the dealer. (now waving down a guy driving a civic that says "type R" in big red letters on the side followed by waving goodbye to your ass).

When I got my 01 330ci a couple hot girls in an eclipse next to me laughed and said he thinks he's cool because he drives a BMW. I then proceeded to lean back and reveal my hot ass girlfriend. Now E92, I was having some shifting issues with my 335 and ground it into second, once while racing a friend to 50, then when accelerating past some ladies. No good. :'(

back in the day when i had my "riced" Datsun 280Z, I remember taking it to Hot Import Nights in LA. After walking around the show all day, i went back in the parking garage to leave when I saw a few people lookin at my car...So bein the 16 year old i was, I flirted with a few of the girls and we agreed to all meet up at In-n-Out. Dropped my friend off at his place so he could get his own car incase we took any girls home and then went to In-n-Out, well, the InO driveway is on a steep incline and me being me, I tried downshifting too fast, wound up grinding the gear before it went in, and then stalled it....and yes, there were a TON of people there including those girls....
needless to say, we didn't take any home that night.... |

I am amazed there have been no sarcastic replies to this thread yet. The group is slipping.
