Very true, the driver was being pretty obnoxious. Wonder how we would do against an S4 on the track..?

was running late to church the other morning so i was driving a little spiritedly...
i spot this BMW 328XI up ahead weaving in and out of traffic...

anyway, he goes on the same s-turn 2-lane exit ramp I do and he is up ahead.. on the first left corner of the S-turn he is pushing his car hard on the inside lane with his car crossing over onto the shoulder of the exit ramp ... i take the outside lane and gradually pass him, he gets behind me as we approach the second right corner of the S-turn and basically bye bye BMW... he tried to keep up but then he just dropped back after he realized he couldnt...

i know my car is has modded springs/wheels/tires... but its satisfying showing what the twin is made of ... especially to a BMW douchebag driver cutting people off thinking his 328 is "an ultimate driving machine..." apparently it is not.

Thing is, his car probably could've handled the corners just as well. Probably just didn't have the balls and/or skills to do it.

I dont know. Maybe he doesn't have skills but he was really pushing it. You can visually see it. I had my wife in my car and she wasn't screaming or complaining ... All she said was "omg we are gonna flip" lol.

My car is supercharged but looks almost stock. It's fun leaving Challenger SRT8s, g37s, 370zs, mustang GTs/any big V8, evos, STi, etc in the dust :P

Aren't you a right little snitch. Did you miss this part;

"Snitches get stitches"

Or

"No one likes a snitch"

Besides it wasn't a race, it was just an embarrassment on his part. But hey yhanks for attempting to take the moral high ground to try and make yourself feel better.

Perhaps the BMW driver was just more aware of the fact that you were both on public roadways and not a race track? The 328i both in inline 6 form and new turbo 4 form is quite capable.

Especially the "X" bimmers.


And I mean the bimmers with the X drive. not x5s etc etc. (although capable in their own right)
