OK, I am driving down U st in DC a week ago. I see a sweet looking black E46 M3 and drive next to it for a few blocks. There is a merge ahead where two lanes go to one because thee is a truck in the right lane where I am, he is in the left. I look over at him and we both hit it at the same time. I am going balls to the wall all out and I got ahead of him and made the lane change before he could cut me off.
He didn't slow down, I heard him going all out the whole time. After I got ahead of him I slowed down and he did also, he immediately turned off and I kept going.
How the hell did I pull on an E46? Could it have been SMG slowing it down? Does the TQ come on faster in the E36? WTF?
Can I add this one to my kill list???

alot of times people will punch it without downshifting, especially when its something with little reaction time. you probably just had a gearing advantage right from the start
Euro E36 vs Euro E46 is a closer contest. Most (E36)M3 owners here change their exhaust and filter and run at around 330-340 bhp.

Joking, but in all seriousness, he didnt back off and he did have that thing running hard, I could hear it with all the windows open.

High revs and full acceleration are 2 different things!
You just got the jump on him and he flapped a race...

yeah man good work. sounds like fun, even if his car wasnt going full potential, still cool to be driving at high speeds with another BMW.
