Like I said, I would have thought he'd have an opportunity to pass, but he didn't. However after he changed lanes on that first straight we had a corner coming up very soon and I don't think he wanted to risk it.

Excatly, if the E46 was a M3, he should beat you in the begining when you didn't downshift. So my guess the E46 is probably a 330 or 325. Flame not intended, nice encounter!

Nice run Lee!
More than often when you run into E46 M3's, the owners RARELY ever want to play in the twisties. However, that is not to say they wont drag race. Just show them a shift rev and they usually give you a nod and take off

Not surprised. I drove a friend's M3. It will take S2000 on the straight. Put in a few curves, the M3 may not want to pass a S2000 because it does not inspire confidence like the S2000.
