Hi mate nice videos!  Looks like you're having fun out there and no wonder we haven't seen you back here!

Hey if you ever want a race against the B7 let me know. I heard that Alpina can easily get 670bhp from these engines. The only problem is that the cats melt. Now where can i get  hold of some de-cat pipes....



BMW M8 coming soon..

Wonder if switching off the air con would have made an improvement?  Give you another 10 horses on 500+?  Would you notice it?

You would probably fry inside the car without the air con on!

Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

The B5 vs M5 runs that were done by Gustav on the airfields in Sweden were at airtemperatures of 20-30C lower. My view would be that the supercharged car would suffer a lot more powerloss due to the heat which is why the M5 becomes faster in these videos. And as mentioned earlier...it depends on the gearing, speed, etc.

who gives a .... lets  and show off

Cats know your every thought.

But don't care.

I'm shocked at you G....I mean you in a s/charged powerhorse should've pulled away very easily.

BUT

However, I'm sure the temperature conditions would have a lot to do with the performance of yours....



335d evolve 354bhp/742nm....M3 SEE YA!!
