Blew by M240i
Had an M240i turn onto road in front of me and he was barely going 80kms/hr. Well as all of u would do i planted my right foot (in 4th gear lol). He did the same and I happily blew by... Surprised at grunt available from that short 4th gear.

I'm not dissing the M240i; its a fine machined to be sure. But you weren't there and neither was I, so neither of us can dispute what happened.

I'm not stating that he didn't win, all I'm stating is that there is no way he "blew by" him if the other guy was really trying. If they are so similar, how can one "blow by" the other?

Both cars are slow as hell. Buy a quicker car if winning street races matter to you.

Only way to settle this is to precisely recreate the scenario. Perhaps someone on this forum with a 240i or our brethren at 2addicts can help
80km/hr roll, Z4M in 4th gear, 240i in (what gear, what transmission/mode??). |

Trust me I was there! Its less a torque issue at a run from 80kms/hr. The M pulls great from 3rd and 4th! The overdrive 5th and 6th are different for sure.
