ok, before anybody starts jumping to conslusions, i want to say that i was suprised as well. The m3 was the luxery package.

so i was going to a club with my friend and we get passed by two m3s, one being a gold e46 and one being a white e36. they were messing around with each other, and passe me. the guy in the white m3 kinda stopped for a second to observe my car and then continued on. I left them alone, but about 3 minutes later, i tought id go and have fun and see what kind of chances i have so i pull up next to him, and the gold m3 is on the far right. I see the guy wants to race cause his car starts to jerk as he changes gears but end up out of room before we could even run. So the lane opens up i down shift to fourth, and punch it as we were dead even to begin with. We start going from 80 and work our way to 130, in the mean while the m3 fell behind half a car. I look at the speedo, and i notice the speed i was going to and i just hit the brake, as the m3 passes me, and continues on till probably 140 if not more. he slows down but stays ahead of me, and i see the Gold e46 pulling up next to me. The guy rolls his windows, shows me tumbs up and busts out laughing at the outcome as we were laughing our selfs.

So before anybody starts saying im lying, im not. I was quite suprised at the outcome. and no i dont think it was any other bimmer like 328, 325,323..etc. Because i have raced a 328, and i left quite a gap between the cars.

The only thing that can come to my mind is that the guy ended up in 5th gear and did not down shift which caused him to loose some power, but then again, mabye he did not since he was downshifting earlier as he wanted to race.

so that is my interesting story of the night! Good bye, gotta sleep, going to track tomrow early

The M3 is faster, you just encountered a bad driver or one who didn't donshit of something. Have you driven an e36 m3 yourself? If you haven't I suggest doing it and you'll see that they're noticeably quicker.

Yes my friend has an e36 m3, and i was not quite blown away by it. and yes on regular basis, i would say an m3 would take me, but i think this was either a guy that did not down shift, or a poser, it looked like a genuine m3, but if it was a poser than i would have left it a much greater distance, like i said i can hand an 328 his ass

Good run man! I know how fast the almighty E46 M3 is, as I've raced a friend here in SYD who has a 6sp ;) I also know how quick a boosted 1.8T is, so I don't doubt you for a second!!!! :ph34r:

I always think this is funny, when people bench race on paperstats. Elvir is continuing to add value to this board and posts his races. At least he is trying and racing and sharing his experience with us. The rest of you (well msot of you anyway) just crtique his experiences by mocking him with magazine statistics and would be, psuedo numbers of phantom vehicles they read about in magazines.

For shame. Benzsport was about doing and sharing your experiences about doing.

Rant over.

OMG. Well i went to the monthly Varsity GTG, and i saw the M3..or what it was supose to be M3. I met the looser refugee owner, who lied his ass off. Its not m3, its 328. He barely spoke engrish. i asked him to pop the hood, hes like not now man im busy..im thinking busy doing what sitting next to your car looking like an idiot. i hate posers.

no magazines here....i currently have 2 boosted A4's and a Jetta 1.8t with many upgrades. Also currently have a 95 M3 and 97 M3 Luxury. None of the VW/Audi's can touch the M3's. Period. Glad you found out it was a fake.

on a side note. you say you'll not all impressed with your friends m3. something to consider. Some E36 M3's come out of factory, and/or, are broken in differently and end up faster than others.
