Default First "Real" Win vs a BMW

So, I was on my way to grab some fast food for dinner when a guy in a newer bright greenish BMW 3 series of some sort pulled up next to me and wanted to give it a run.

I decided what the hell. We went from a 40 roll. He gave it three honks and got me by maybe a half a car length or a little less right off the bat, but by the time I hit 90mph I had a fender length on him so I let off since I could see brake lights coming up. Anyway, this was the first "real" run that I've had since I've had my S and thought I would share. I dont know anything about the BMW cause he didnt slow down for a

Do any of you guys know what kind of 3 series this sounds like? Obviously not an M3 since I would have lost by a mile, but just kind of curious.

Street Racing is dangerous, do not do it.
Sure feels great to beat some German engineering in your Jap Muscle! Once you do it once you will want to do it again and again, then add a turbo and well.... the life of an S.

Felt good when I reeled him in Oops, I meant spirited driving not racing

In all seriousness though, yes street racing is dangerous, but there wasnt any cars around except way ahead of us so I figured why not

yes they are monsters on top end. but from a 20mph roll you can take them. after 90 mph they start walking away like your going backwards.
