cool. I think the 540i will pull as hard as our S2000 above 70. One of my student with a E36M3 in MIS, we can not catch a 540i in front during the whole front straight. That is so embarrassing.

If I'm not mistaken, the 540i's have 282Hp (the M5 has 400). . . Either way, its a fast sean and will definitely be tough to beat at higher speeds. . .
