Given his attitude I think you did the right thing and just moved on, just not worth your time
and gas.
Regardless whether he has a faster car or not he does come across like a douche.

Maybe he had something under his hood he wasn't disclosing that made him come across as over confident, but I have no clue what. I described his car exactly how it was above, if this person is on 5post, I'll gladly take you up on that offer in the future. But I thought it was borderline childish to insult my car like that and say "mine is better than yours"

Good idea on not giving this guy any more motivation to act more brash. You never know these days.....

I would have said "I doubt your car is faster with that gigantic douche bag on the driver's seat weighing it down"

BIngo!

Nice photo of the M grill badge above the Cali plate. He must have added the 2nd M grill badge to get the total whp to over 500.

Damn, I wish that was me that ran into him! I would have definitely raced him, even if I was on my way for a doctors appointment or to pick up my date (sorry I was late honey, I had to go race this fool, she would then proceed to tell me that's rad). After boot's dyno of 562hp to WHEEL with our RPi exhaust, it would have been not only epic but pure comedy! After the race, I would tell him that I recorded the whole thing and that I'm posting it up all over the forums to expose his ill-intentioned claims. I hope I run into this guy one day, I really do. LOL!

Oh also the 21" wheels was a dead giveaway that I would win in any scenario. More unsprung weight = more lost races.

Nope, I was at that meet. No douchebags there. Although, I didn't notice that fake M badge...so who knows.

[B-1Pilot]

his license plate says 6-PMP-9 69. Says it all.

Seems there is quite a market for faux - M5s as well.

What you should have done was pump gas over his hood then light a match and throw it over. Then say, "i took it easy on you". Thats how it would go down...if u were bruce willis and this was a movie.

Anyway, who gives a shit. U took the high road. Whos to say a 99 civic with a recycled jet engine wont pull up to u at the next pump and say the same bs. Bottom line is ur car is the one women take their tops off for and wave at u when u drive by...i.e. U sir, are an m driver. Yes, those women r whores, but still...

Seriously doubt this guy is even on the forums. Anyone who is would know better than to be rude to another Bmw enthusiast and know for damn sure no 535 is making 500 no matter what you do.

21inch forgiatos!!!!!!!!! His 0-100 is probably 12 seconds LOL 500hp haaaaaaa more like 500 crank if not even less...... Douchebaggery at its finest.

He's living in a dream while you're living the dream....

The F10 there looks very similar, but he didn't have a black roof. Plus that one is tastefully modded, his F10 was somewhat tacky.

Exactly, if I can avoid conflict, that's the route I take.

Not him, that 5 looks well executed! Badging always helps with horsepower though

I wish you ran into him instead! Not that I condone street racing.... But that would be some awesome footage

Yeah as I said above, that's definitely not the guy. Plus those are 20s it looks like

The guy I ran into didn't have a front plate, so I don't think it's the same guy

Hahahaha, got a good laugh out of that one. Especially the last part

If he is on the forums, no hard feelings. But I am highly doubtful he is touching even 500 crank with those mods.

My sentiments exactly. Those rims looked bulky as hell, its probably like driving with a boat anchor.

I'm not exactly living the dream, but I'm driving one

[amgthis]

Whoever that guy may be, I think it stems from jealousy. He drives around thinking he has an M, then he gets to see the real deal, he feels the need to compensate. I'd have for sure done a run with that cocky b*stard

Bahahaha, epic answer!

[SDf10]

What an idiot! I have driven Robs M5 and even raced an old M5 in it (total destruction). There is noooo way in hell that my 535 msport would be even close to an M5, even with every mod in the world (100hp badges included). You handled that like a true gentleman.

Yea your probably right, those guys in regular 5's are all really poor and stuff. When I see them, I laugh and say look at those peasants in their $60k cars!! Oh wait I have that car...damn it!! Hahaha

[h4nh]

I ran into a few 335i owners that wanted to race my M3 and said the same thing. lol... they're just mad bro

[johntomferg]

I think MakeEmDrool that channeled Bruce Willis in the earlier post had the right idea about how to bring some more humor to this (through movie references).

How else could it have gone down....

Look at him for about 10 seconds (5 makes it looks like you are thinking of a response, 10 is just enough to make someone feel uncomfortable with what you are about to say), then say "well I guess those other M5s went easy on you out of respect for your badging. You clearly don't know about the secret FC option on the M5s... and I would tell you about it or show it to you in all its glory BUT since you aren't in the owners club AND I (like the other M5 owners) don't like you enough to over look that..."




"And if you really annoy me, I'll go back in time and make sure your mom and dad don't meet."

Maybe not... but just saying....


Anyone else with to contribute a movie themed response?

[apsuard]

I agree with RPIM5 that the 21's were a dead give away that you would have waxed him (along with about 100 other factors).

My take is when he said "he waxed several M5's" he blew by a few on the free way and they didn't even know he was "racing" them.

Heck I only have a E60 M5 and everyone I have ran into is super complimentary. I think that guy just has an unforntunate personality.

[LACSTER]

Should have kicked that guy in the nuts!

[LACSTER]

Oh man just finished reading all the comments.

Can't we all just get a long

Oh and you said Forgiatos. That says it all!

[emmfiv3]

You guys have a serious flaw in your calculations. You're only considering the two front badges at 50hp each. He probably had 3 on the rear and a couple more pasted on each side. Clearly an M5 killer at that point lol.

But seriously the 2 M badges on the front tell me everything, thats some tacky shit.

[RPiM5]

If it was me that met that guy at the gas station that day (begin day-dream sequence) it would have went something like this...

We talkin or we racin?!
