Well today I had a rare opportunity to have some fun with a fellow bimmer owner!

I was driving around this morning when I noticed a bimmer behind me quickly approaching. Was hoping it was an E34...but it was an E32. We eventually took the same onramp and were both taking it aggressively until a Ford SportTrac slowed us both down.

I live in Waterloo and today the highway was absolutely dead so it was the perfect time to open her up!!

So as soon as both bimmers hit the highway we both put the metal to the peddle quickly outpacing the FORD! The 735 was surprisingly quick, he stayed with me till about 140KM/HR, as soon I hit 4th I was gone, I quickly arrived at the 200KM/HR marker and decided that play time was done! haha

By that time he was about 15 car lengths behind me. Of course I slowed her down and pulled into the right lane to give him a wave as I had to take the next exit!

Thought I would share this with you guys! Big ups to the E32!

Cheers
Scotty

I have an e32 735 and its suprisingly quick. Ive had it up to 135 MPH and it still had more left in it. They cant quite keep up with the big v8 but not bad at all for a 6 cylinder in such a big car. I suprise people all the time with mine.

Well I really didn't know what to expect out of the 7 series just because its a larger car. But he did surprise me!

I'm quite happy with the performance I get out of my small 8. Off the line it would compare to a 6 cylinder but when you get to the mid and upper ranges is when you really notice the extra 2 cylinders! Also the engine sounds a hell of lot meaner...my roommates always comment when the hear me coming they always take a look because they say it sounds like an expensive car with a mean engine...ahaha! :lol:
