From time to time, on the highways, I do romp on my M3 doing 60+ runs (not racing anyone), and the cars that try to keep pace that was on my butt looks like a speck in my rear mirror in 3 seconds or less. From time to time, I see some other car try to keep up, but it literally takes them 4-5 seconds AFTER I've slowed down for them to catch up to me.
Top end pull on M cars is no joke either. On turbo M motors, turbos are designed to continue to deliver for top end power, and on NA M cars, most of the power is on the top end by design.

Agreed! I've done the same and noticed how fast those cars behind me tend to disappear, but I witnessed a WARP FACTOR in comparison to what my 50i is capable of! Oh well, again, it was all in good fun as I knew I couldn't hold down the fort for long!
Damn these X5's are addictive!!!
