What Can/Can't I Take

Marcadelic · 01-27-2010, 09:21 PM

I have a Stock 335i Coupe with M-Package, I was just wondering what cars I can/can't take in a race. Not looking to go out and try and start some races but if someone wants to go, i want to know if i have a shot or not lol.

lmao, good to know i was really worried about them, i had one try to get me to go at a light yesterday but i wouldn't bite

i've killed c's e's (lower numbers) and a couple of lower numbered audi's as well. just be careful. I guess people start things because they dont think it's high powered (non-M to them = easy take). all depends on the driver too.
im stock btw.

Marcadelic · 01-27-2010, 09:37 PM

Im auto btw, idk if that makes a difference

1. Look up 0-60 and 1/4 mile stats for 335i auto
2. Look up 0-60 and 1/4 mile stats for _______

If 2 > 1, you can take. If 2 < 1 you can't take. If 2 ≈ 1 it will depend on the drivers.

Who cares?

That sounds like a childish/teenager question to ask.

+1, you can't expect us to list EVERY car.

+1 again, the 335 is fast but isn't built for straight line speed anyway.

This. BMW isn't the best car to be doing drag time calculations with.

NaTuReB0Y · 01-27-2010, 09:58 PM

here's a measuring stick to go by:

my Honda Fit with V-Tec does 1/4 mile in about 18.7 seconds @78mph.......

i think you'll probably win......

wwjbd24 · 01-27-2010, 10:01 PM

^ but your e90 looks dope, would do a double take in person.

Oh jeez, don your flame suit

cashmethod · 01-27-2010, 10:15 PM

you can take on honda's/acuras/infiniti/mbz c's etc/audi's. The cars that can somewhat stand up to the bimmers are 370z/350z(these guys have so much hp stock) audi s5 (v8 engine and shit load of hp) and since u have an automatic from what i heard it was faster than manual, i thought it was insane, the only good thing about manual you control your speed. and my worse pet peeve ever, since i live in the SGV area in L.A there so many fucken honda civic si/rsx thinking they can take a 328i i have beaten so many i have lost count. they should reconsider when it comes to a 335i.

it was about 4 months ago, we took off at a light and i was first car (speed limit was 55) i was going about 50 and he was ridding my ass, i mean ridding i couldn't see his headlights anymore...so just to show him he was going to get me to speed up i put on cruise at 54mph, the whole left lane was open but he just wouldn't get over, so i did after about a min or so if him tailgating me. After this he drove past me and prob picked it up to around 73, after he was about a half a mile ahead of me i kicked it up to 67 and threw on the cruise. Thats when his lights went on and he got behind me, and pulled me over....I deff learned my lesson though lol

Okay that does kinda suck. Usually I don't have much mercy for people who complain about getting tickets. Don't get me wrong - I go 80 in the 65 like everyone else. But if I get a ticket, I'm not gonna complain.

sorry but that's a pretty epic fail. everytime a cop tails you (esp in the left lane) (and obv with their colored lights not going) you move over. dont give them an opportunity...
