Im guessing he has some goodies under his BMW's hood.... Like a chip

I assume your remembering to turn off you VDC when your race?

i have tried vdc off and on and its usually the same result. Someone on the other board suggested dropping it from neutral? I have yet to do that but it seems harmful and i dont want to mess anythign up. No he told me he's patiently waiting for the dinan chip but as of now there are none out for the 06 models.

Interesting...

All of the guys on e90post.com are also claiming their '06 330i's are taking down the automatic G's as well. I guess your story checks out on their side.

Anyone else race the new body 330i?

Interesting. I raced a black 2006 330I not too long ago and I beat him by a car and a half (and I was pulling away) up to 100mph before we both let up. But I am a 6MT. Could it be that much of a difference?

Well,

From my understanding of the BMW 330i is the fact that their automatics are EXCELLENT. It's a new generation of automatic transmission and I believe the AT's are just as fast as the MT's.

The G on the other hand has a good auto tranny, but still not as good as the Bimmers. Not to mention the Manual G's are significantly faster than the Auto G's.

wow if he kept up with a manual coupe, no wonder i had no chance. Now i feel better though, i thought it was only me. I guess the new ones are just fast. Gotta wait till the 07 comes out though and then compare.

Yeah I can vouch for this. Their auto mode has this incredible D/S sport mode. Mine feels like a dog compared to that mode. I wish infiniti had similiar system The transmission holds the gears and shifts like a manual. I think he made a video of him accelerating from 0-120. It's somewhere up there too.

He kept up for a lil bit but I was starting to pull as we got closer to 100mph. They are quick though.
