Default AP1 VS BMW 5 Series

We were driving, traffic waaay ahead of us....

A last generation 5 Series is on my left. When he finally gets right next to me, i keep speed so that i'm directly next to him for about 5 seconds. As soon as he pushed it, so do i.

I pull about half a car on him, then I slow down since I catch up to a car in front of me and I have nowhere to go.

Mark another win for the S2000. Felt good pulling on a high priced 5 Series "sports" sedan. Definitely wasn't the M5.

later

I'm not sure. I could not tell.

The 5 Series is a nice car. If I had to get one, I would get either the 540 6speed or M5.

Yeah...if you didn't see the badge then it probably wasn't a 540. At highway speeds those things are very strong. And definitely wasn't an M5.

But nice kill none the less.
