3076R Claims Its First BMW

[A4ringedONE8T]

Coming home from lunch I'm cruising down the highway and a silver E46 M3 convert gets on at an upcoming ramp. He gets in the middle lane and after a few mintues I catch up to him in the fast lane. Coming up on him, I noticed it was dropped on the 19" optional M3 wheels, had a carbon fiber rear valence around the quad exhaust, and had some type of aftermarket exhaust. As I cruised up next to him I waved (car did look good), was a middle age guy with his wife/gf/something in the passenger seat. He kinda gives me a look and nods back as I pass him. Traffic was a bit thick so he drops in behind me. After a minute or so traffic clears ahead and I hear him downshift twice (it was SMG from the throttle blip and as quick as it downshifted). I was cruising in 5th so I just layed down on the gas. Ran from 80 up just shy of 140 with him behind me, just ever so slightly pulling away from him the entire time. As we cruise back down to reasonable speeds he comes up next to me with a bit of a confused look on his face. He gets a huge smile on his face and downshifts again twice into 4th. Again just layed back on it in 5th, he jumped about 1/2 car from being in a lower gear, ran up to about 145 this time and layed on the Alcon's with about a 2 1/2 car lead. He again pulls up next to me, big grin on his face, and holds up 4 fingers. Didnt know what he was talking about so we drift down to managable speeds and he holds up the 4 fingers again. I said "what?", he yells "4 cylinder?" I laughed and shook my head yes. He smiles again, gives me a thumbs up and went on his way as I exited off the highway.

Really wasn't sure what to expect when he wanted to run, this was on only 20psi and the first hard run Ive done since the rebuilt motor and 3076R. Very happy with the results for only 20psi

Disclaimer: video games are pretty realistic these days, even have 3076R powered B6 A4's, good shit!

Wow, and here I just made a joke about all BMW drivers being douches. Pretty nice kill though, especially how you did it (not even downshifting). I'm curious about what the P.S. comment about video games is about though?

[HeHateMe]

AWESOME RUN!! And even more awesome that an M3 driver was cool like that. Righton. Frontrash FTW? LOL.

[pondside36]

Good stuff...I really don't like M3 so it makes the story all the better..

[80CID]

Sweet, every bmw owner I've meet always thinks that bmw is the best car in the world.....it’s rather annoying

[A4ringedONE8T]

Pretty much every BMW Ive ran the owner didnt give me or the A4 the time of day before I kicked there ass, let alone after. This guy was very cool and liked it even more that I beat him. Nice to see a down to earth BMW owner for once!

For those that cry about messing around on public roads and for the high speeds, for them this was just a video game

[Carlitos]

you had to downshift man! jajaja... just so he can have a really good taste of the gt30

[Maverick]

i guess he couldn't take that he lost to a banger audi which in his eyes his bmw is 10000 better than your b6. I hate guys like that.

[Exanimas]

Thanks for the clarification. Damn kids, with their Need For Speed and their Forza.

Did you read the story man? haha. The guy asked him if it was a 4 cyl and gave him a thumbs up.

[Maverick]

yeah I read the whole story! at first he couldnt believe that Shawn was on 4 cylinder.
the thumb up is nothing, he raised his 4 fingers twice, I would take that as an insult.
I bet he didnt want to give a thumb up.

He had a bit of an attitude when I first got up next to him but was beyond nice as he went on his way

[Maverick]

^^that's always nice to have in a video game haha

[Smiley]

Thanks for the clarification. Damn kids, with their Need For Speed and their Forza.

:O

Forza is the best thing to a racing sim so dont insult it by comparing it to NFS!!!!!!!

But nice run...glad the BMW driver wasnt a douche like most of them are.

[HeHateMe]

He probably thought it was a modded s4 or something after Shawn gave him some. I wouldn't necessarily take it as an insult, sounds to me that he was just astounded by the other-worldly quickness of the a4.

There has to be panic on the bmw forums when they learn that b6's are catching up to them

yeah but they will continue to be arrogant/cocky so-and-so's no matter how much we tune their asses up.

well... to them, Audis are slow... and not as fun to drive as their 50:50 perfect weight districb ratio no audi's heavy noise understeer like machine.

E90 M3 5 seconds faster than RS4/C63 in 1 single lap from TopGear's test.

E92 335i 0.4s faster than S5 in 1 single lap from FifthGear's test.


To be fair,they hav their bet.

Yes, but the s4 did this to the e46 m3 on the Top Gear track. Sooo.... what do all these numbers prove?

1:31.8 – BMW M3 E46

1:30.9 – Audi S4 quattro 4.2

Aww, what's wrong with NFS? I get to get my rice on by taking 90 degree turns in an Eclipse doing 150mph and not hitting a wall.

[Arclight]

Cool story and nice way to show the rings to a fellow german car driver... gotta love the flat, straight, and smooth FL roads...

[20A4Audi1.8t01]

Good story and nice run!!

[thebikedoctor33]

would you listen to yourselves? your attitude is just as bad as any of your so called arrogant cocky so and so's. who are you to generalize that all beemer owners think they are better than the rest of the world. or that they think their cars are better. next time your at a meet, ask each audi owner what their favorite brand of car is. bet you 90% of them say audi. get your head out of your ass and try and have the slightest remnants of open mindedness. although the rest of america has their heads up their asses, why shouldnt you.

...end rant...

Take it easy , man. My post was in fun, hence the smiley face. There are a whole lot of things to get angry about besides what we think of BMW drivers.

Edit: lol, you said I had my head up my ass? WTF is that about? Who the f--k are you? Tell you what, why don't you kiss my ass? I was making a sarcastic post with a smiley face in the post to denote a joking nature and you attack me and cuss me out? LOL Must be on your period, DICK.

Do you own a BMW?

alright so youre right i shouldnt go off on you for a couple posts. its mostly me venting my general anger at the sorry state of humanity. if you step back and try and watch how many times people just everyone around them, myself included, with no justification, it just pisses me off. and this thread just exemplified that. my bad on attacking you.

and no, i've owned 2 audi's and no bmw's. but i know more than one perfectly normal beemer owners that share my love for cars in general. no the stuck up pricks most audi owners make them out to be

LOL, it's all good bro. I seriously was only playing around. Also, sorry about by profanity laced post. Peace.

[A4ringedONE8T]

Come on guys, we all know Audi is the best, duuuhhhh ....

[A4natomical]

good story and win.

[absolutegtr]

Very nice kill

Why didnt you bother to downshift?

[A4ringedONE8T]

Very nice kill

Because I knew shifting was gonna slow me down against the SMG. I really doubt I would have gained much, if anything, downshifting into 4th

[AudiA4Turbo22]

thats so kool dude i'm sure his GF dumped him because he got beat by a 4 banger lol!

[A4ringedONE8T]

thats so kool dude i'm sure his GF dumped him because he got beat by a 4 banger lol!

haha I think she forgave him

[HeHateMe]

thats so kool dude i'm sure his GF dumped him because he got beat by a 4 banger lol!

Really wasn't sure what to expect when he wanted to run, this was on only 20psi and the first hard run Ive done since the rebuilt motor and 3076R. Very happy with the results for only 20psi

Im happy to see that he was a good guy about it and wasnt a spiteful asshole

[audipotential]

I dont think girls really care about this shit to be honest.

I hope you have 6 speed, otherwise 5th is over drive, not the best for racing...

always down shift with a BAT!!!!!

6K RPM makes more power than 3K!
