Can I take on a BMW X5?

A friend has a BMW X 5 and he has asked me to race with him. I have a 6 MT stock and was wondering if I have a chance. Another friend with BMW 318 wants to show me how mighty BMW is and has proposed a race.
A lot of people have difficilty accepting the fact that G 35 beats the hell out of a lot of BMW and Mercedes models.
Thanks for the input.

I have a 1995 BMW 318is and it does 0-60 in about 10 minutes. However it doesn't, nor did it ever, have one single rattle, squeak, vibration or funny noise and it's shift quality and handling properties are absolutely superb.

U will beat him even if he has 4.8 X5 but one mistake by u he is going to pull on you hard so its a driver's race.

True. Some German stuff is awesome, some is a little bit of a let down. I am dating a girl that has a TT. Less than a year old its been in the shop 4 times. But she loves to drive it... when it's running.

Re: Can I take on a BMW X5?

I also got dusted by an E55 Amg on the highway today LOL... It was my friend's father's He's got an E55 and S55 amg, they are both BEASTS but the S feels like my car compared to the e55 and my car feels like a honda compared tot he s55, they are beasts . Anyway 318 and a X5 even 4.6 you will beat the 318 without trying, the X5 4.6 or 8 will take good driving skills from you. Race him, you'll be surprised of this cars true potential. Martin

Re: Can I take on a BMW X5?

Thank you guys. I will give it a try and see what happens. I had my first race yesterday against a Camaro. I passed him with 85 miles and he got upset and pulled hard. He went ahead of me and I shifted down to 5th gear and blew him away with 130 miles. It was fantastic. I was on the 134 E towards Pasadena.
We are blessed to own such a car.

Re: Can I take on a BMW X5?

If it was an LS1 camaro he wasnt even trying. Hell, even LT1s will walk on us at that kinda speed. You must have been racing a 6 banger or a Z28 that didnt care enough to open his car up.
