M Roadster wouldnt bite

On my way home from work I see this blue BMW roadster. It was actually the M version. I knew nothing about this car other than a friend of mine has the 2.5 litre version which is not that hot as far as perf goes.

I pulled up beside him, smiled and pointed ahead, gunned it a few times but nope, he wouldnt bite. Im glad he didnt. After seeing here I realized he would have prolly handed my anus to me

Nonetheless, its a sweet anus looking car, I must say. And the girl riding in the passenger side was freaking HOT

43 grand for the car -- i thought it would cost more. That "M" sure makes a diff

I was in the same situation with an Audi TT. Should I have gone for it? I figured he would have made me eat fumes!

I highly doubt you'd eat fumes from a TT. They either have the 1.8T engine with 180 hp, or 225 hp. I don't know how fast these things run or what their other specs are, but with your 2K2 I'm pretty sure a TT would be eating your fumes.

You would have gotten beaten really bad. The 240 hp M roadster run 14 flat and the new 315 hp M roadsters run very very low 13s.

I don't care what the mags say. I've seen stock TT's 225hp (dual exhaust) running at the track and they are slow.
