Couldn't have been a real BMW owner... We would rather die before messing up a wheel.
Angry wife...more likely.

He then proceeded to fly by and cut me off again after getting walked by 10 bus lengths. Just went out for a drive late at night to mind my business and every time there's some junk trying to run.

For some reason especially in NYC modded BMW Benz Audi or Alfa Romeo 2.0t's love to egg us on, the other day an a4 that was louder than most F8x I've seen (completely straight piped probably) kept trying to race me and ended up getting pulled over by an undercover cop right next to me lol. Thank god that wasn't an s5/rs5 cause I would've been getting pulled over with him.

I just sold my 997.1 C2 on Monday to get this car, a 2015 M4 with Carbon Ceramics, and EVERYONE wants to race. Just today, I had 2 lifted F250's try, a non SRT Charger... AND an altima... What IS it about this car?

It was funny though, obviously NO comparison.

3 years and 3 weeks with a 640d, "everyone" wanted to race... never seen a set of taillights though, except for a '07 500bhp V10 M5.

1.5 months with this M4, "everyone" wants to chase but afraid to really race, oh and I've lost twice already. Both within minutes on the same night. '09 Yamaha R1 crossplane and a '13 Suzuki GSXR 1000 so no shame really.

ALL these guys raced me:

20210130 - Buttonwillow by JMG, on Flickr

It was my first time at this track in 15+ years and I never ran clockwise so I wasn't the fastest. The RS3 easily beat me, he had the fastest laps of the day.

A newer Macan Turbo.

Went to a car meet Saturday night to hang with some friends. As soon as we parked and walked to my group of friends it went south.. My girlfriend was basically ready to throw hands. This girl noticed all of us standing next to her Macan (idk if was hers or her boyfriends) but she walked towards us on the passenger side and says "excuse me!" in the most Karen way possible. Opened the door, closed it and locked the car. Then she walked back to her boyfriend and friends. We all look at each other like wtf just happened..

The police show and tell everyone to leave. We all leave and somehow they end up next to us at the last traffic light before an on-ramp onto the highway since we were going to check out another meet up that way. They just sit there and stared at us. On green we set off slowly and then she flips us off. A second later they punch it.. I then put the foot down and got in front of them as the lane narrowed and then got a good 2-3 car lengths by the time I got onto the highway. Oh was she pissed.. They tried to get another run but I had my waze up and noticed a state trooper before the state line about a a mile away. They take off and I stayed in the right lane. You all know what happens next..

They grill us and on green we set off slowly and then she flips us off. A second later they punch it.. I then put the foot down and got around them as the lane narrowed and then got a good 2-3 car lengths by the time I got onto the highway. Oh was she pissed.. She tried to then talk smack on the highway and my girl was going off. haha. They tried to get another run but I had my Waze up and noticed a state trooper before the state line.

News reporters are so lame. 100mph isn't even that fast. I love it when they say "…up to 90mph!" during other "high speed" pursuits. Um…half the cars are going 85 at night anyway. The difference between 85 and 90 or even 100 isn't that much. 130… that's a lot.

Mopar in General. They all want to "race you" in their one trick pony.

I lost to all these guys at Laguna Seca:

Let me guess, 4 door excuse? Dude, try harder.

LOL... I know right?! I need to get faster.

Actually they were in the advanced group and that was my first time at Laguna, so I have no idea if I was faster than them. I did eventually pass all the cars soon after the following photos were taken: Aventador, M8C, & E92 M3 gave me the point-by on the front straight after turn 11. I passed the Aventador several times thought the day, but that's probably due more to driver experience than the car or my skill. I'm actually an intermediate or advanced (depending on the track), but I ran the beginner group that day

The last time I raced a Challenger Hellcat with my BM3 stage 1 91 tuned M4 I lost by a nose from 30-160. Well, today I was visiting a friend in Venezuela and raced his Charger Hellcat and I can't believe I won by a nose one 3 separate races 0-140. He said to me "That is one powerful V8" I'm not really a drag queen (expect on weekends ) but it's awesome our tiny 3-liter TT M4's with a modest tune can hang with some of the most powerful stock supercharged V8s on the market.

I'm coming from a FBO Stage 2 F30 that no one EVER wanted to race, like never...
5 minutes into my drive home from the dealer in my 2018 F80 ZCP, guy literally bust a u turn at a light and follows me, pulls down his window - Wanna race? No dude... i don't even know how this thing works yet!
Literally countless times after that, all the time people want to race... I don't know what it is about this car, maybe it's the YMB?

Isn't it strange how some people react to the badge? Welcome!

I was in a hurry to get home a few days ago and got on the accelerator from a stop light. I looked to my right and noticed a clapped out Mazda 3 try and keep up. He looked a bit worked up over "losing" to a hippie electric car. I'm just trying to get home in a timely matter to take a deuce. Sorry.

[rmanm4]

I had a E46 M3 for 8 years and nobody wanted to race but I would get a lot of love (thumbs up and nice car) from drivers and pedestrians. Since I upgrade to the F82, everyone wants to race! The other day out of the blue a E70 4.4L murdered black went off the light, I didn't even know we were racing till a good 30 feet...told wife and kid "hold onto someone"...hit the M2 button and off we went! Caught him and beat him no problem to the next lights. He rolled down his window and gave me the thumbs up, then we went again as nobody was around! Took him by a couple of car lengths easy.

5.0 Mustang. I was driving normal. He comes up revving. I wave him off. He revs some more. Interstate was empty so I put it in sport mode and left him. He catches back up, but declines to try again.

[deeldoo]

On the 427 North here in Mexico, ontario.

A hooligan in a white GT3, funny dude, crazy curly hair, looked like he was prolly on drugs or high off life.

I am stage 2 93, catless MPE, spark plugs, potenzas, but other than that fairly stock.

He was doing about 120 km/h, he hit it first, i chased him, we stopped at around 255, he was about half a car length ahead.

Gave me a thumbs up, cackled like a menace, then took his off ramp.

Those things are super loud.

M3 is a measuring stick for every other car…
