Default Wow!!! '02 C32 v. '02 M3

I cannot believe I saw this...I woke up early to go to the auto parts store, and I see a black C32 and a "deep yellow" M3...both 2002s.

I guess they were friends because they were talking to each other outside the store, and they got back in and drove down the street together.

Of course, I can't keep up with 'em, but they're doing at least 80 on surface streets, begging to get pulled over.

The crazy part is I saw those same two cars rolling down the "private streets" of the school I go to!

I have to say, honestly, that for a 4-door sedan...the C32 is incredibly beautiful...and the new M3 has this elegance to it...plus the fact that it's a 300+ HP monster on the road...

Damn I wish I had the cash...

Yes both are beautiful and fast machines (333HP for the BMW and 354HP for the Mercedes), my heart leans towards the M3 mainly because its the one that I can get in a manual transmission, won't be in that Pheonix Yellow though .

Must have been a nice site.

Man, that must be a sight..

When I still lived in Irvine, there was a young guy like mid 20s driving a Brand Spanking new Paper Plates C32. I tried to get him to run and see what his car would do but since he just got it he said he wanted to let it chill. I was like "So how you like it?" and he casual responds, "it's alright." There's also a black M3 that always rolls around my neighbordhood, another high 20s young 30s looking guy. Gawd, I hope I have a nice car by then.

the benz has 349hp...i luckily just got one, and i have already taken it to the drag strip I raced badass yellow S2000 with AEM mods, don't know exactly what. We lined up at the light and the s2000 is SCREAMING at 7-8K?!? i think.. and im launching at 0rpm not even power braking. Anyhow the s2000 RAPES ME off the line with a good 3-4car length lead....then after that i just started gaining on him in the middle and it's neck to neck at the end and i just barely beat him with a 13.5@105mph
