The only chance i'v ever had to have a bash with a bigger bhp car was today.
I was in a small queue of traffic and sat in a very patiant manor, Just waitng for the lights to turn to green.

The car in front was a black "t" plate BMW M3 ragtop, i did notice a small sticker on the left hand side saying AC Schnitzer ?? well perhaps not those exact letters but it was close.

Light green off we go, i could see him glancing in his rear view mirror and talking to his passenger then look again.

We aproched a small roundabout before what is known locally as the mile straight, His bm had a big bit of a fidget as he put the power down an ickle bit to soon, so as we left the roundy i was all over him "like a bad rash".

We both gave it the big stick along the straight, and to my amazment he could not make any ground, i stayed the samr distance all the way to about 120mph where he lifted and the chase was over.

I felt some elation at keeping up with the bm simply because i thought he would pull away with no prob.

Not sure if the ragtop is slower that the coupe this maybe why my 03wrx ppp was able to keep tabs on the big barvaren bus.

Those BM's have a sticky 2nd gear - he was probably stuck in gear! ;)

It's called Irmscher, looks like they're a German tuning outfit: linkage. Strange, the website seems to feature Opels almost exclusively :confused:

Sorry pete forgot you where a prat.

Irmscher are a mainly opel tuning firm, haven't heard of them doing bimma's. and yes it probably would have been ac schnitzer as they do tune bimma's.

edited to say: how the chuff do i quote somebody else's post properly?

Fatman, errr...? Ive never been any good at countdown, but i duno how you got Irmecher from AC Schnitzer! But AC S' are Bimmer modders (and bloody expensive ones too!).

lol! It's because he edited his post. Look at the time of his post, the time of my reply and the time of his edit.

Yes, I know very well that Schnitzer tune BMW's :rolleyes:
