I can't waste an e46 M3 in my 400+ BHP GTR so I seriously doubt you can waste one in a near standard RA.
M3's driven properly are seriously quick cars, they put all their power down instantly and are more than capable of keeping pace with all but the highest power of scoobs IMHO of course

Best get onto BMW forum and read the thread which will undoubtably say ''what the xxxx is the matter with Subaru drivers? I go to overtake one and he floors it so as not to let me''.
No wonder we are getting a seriously bad name ....

I have to say I always look at the number of posts from a person when I see this kind of thread starting. I may be proved wrong but more often than not they come from people withvery low thread counts.
Maybe its the ''ive got a new car, look how fast I am'' syndrome?
Most of us drive quickly, its why we bought the car, but personally I dont feel the need to prove myself with every other car / driver who ventures near me.

See now that’s the sort of respect you get when you drive a BMW

Not aiming this at the originator directly but it really annoys me when I'm going along a duel carriageway and pull out to overtake a car going 60-65 for example and as it's an Impreza they drop a gear and try to race you, basically you have 2 choices;
1) back off and boil or
2) accelerate to silly speed to get past knowing full well with my luck i've just been clocked at 90mph+ by local plod
Most of the time I dont want to race people, I know I dont drive a rocketship and I certainly dont go around up peoples ***** etc I can get much more enjoyment on good roads on my own
Sorry if I've doubleed up on someones post but TBH I could'nt raise the effort in trawling through yet another 'I beat an M3 slaying'

I very rarely drive at the legal speed limit and enjoy making good progress on the right road as much as anyone, but I don't feel the need to bully other drivers doing it. And what does it prove anyway? That his tired old import with x previous owners is a better car and that he wouldn't swap it for a new M3?

Everytime u get somescooby guy saying they beat an M3. Its like thier lives revolve around it. Why the anger to beat bmw. Its like me saying my car is quicker than an RS6 from 40 onwards because i beat someone in a race and it probably was a TDI.
Perhaps we should film your car against and m3/5 from 40 onwards then we can place it on the board and then people can stop posting the same message.

I sometimes wonder if the slow and fast lane mentality that we see on the motorways of this country manifests itselfs with some people on this board who seem to think that speed is everything (and I bet the're in the middle or outside lane on an empty motorway when doing it!).

If you go on bmw3.co.uk, u dont see messages like i beat a scooby.
You need to drive both, my brother has a p1 and its completely different.
Especially in certain corners where the m5 would end up in someones front lounge.
