Default AP2 vs. BMW 650i

Driving home minding my own business, lol. Now I stop at a light. BMW 650i stops next to me and starts reving his engine. He rolls his window and says to me, "What you got." I respond, "All I can do is try to keep up." He laughs.

Light turns green he takes off. I'm taking it very easy shifting gears cause so afraid of the weak dif and so now he's up about 2 car lengths. I'm like, "Oh well." He slows down and waits for me. I tell him 3 honks on 40mph. He gives me a thumps up. He honks, we're off. We're even for a few hundred feet when all of a sudden, SOS Stage 2 11 psi tuned by Evans Tuning 400whp/260tq supercharger wakes up, and buy buy 650i 4th and 5th gears and fading away.

Now I wait for him, lol. He wants to give it another go. Unfortunately for him, it was the same result but this time I continued through 6th gears up until 140mph and he's now about 4 car lengths behind me. I wait for him again but this time he cruises by, honks his horn and gives me a thumps up. I return the gesture in addition to a great big smile on my face.

Performance MODS:

SOS Supercharger Stage 2
1000 ID Injectors
Fujitsubo Legalis R Catback Exhaust
SOS Sport Clutch
AEM EMS Series 2 Tuned by Evans Tuning 400wph/260tq

Makes me feel very satisfied on money well spent that was put to a good use, lol.

This is not funny, i my self had a little fun with one of these this morning. Nothing serious like from a light or on a roll just me tailing him all the way till we hit the on ramp to the hwy. this is where i pass him. i dont think he was able to handle the curves on this ramp and therefore i passed him at ~90mph. i know i will see him again as he lives in my complex
too bad i dint turn on my gopro, i was not expecting this to happen

AP1

I imagine between a supercharger powerband (linear torque curve) and the aerodynamics of a 6 series plus their v8 torque curve puts his story about right
