Smoked a 528 / almost got smoked by a SUV

Interesting drive to work this morning.

Cruising down a 2 lane 35mph road that the fuzz LOVE and a 5 series bimmer comes FLYING up behind me.

Left onto a 6 lane cross town road and the game is afoot. We tagged back and forth but I was smoking this bimmer. Finally got behind *her* only to discover that is was meerly a 525.

She ended up 2 cars back at the next light and a Mercedes mini suv thing is next to me. An *she* jams it off the line and cooks me. I didn't figure her for a race.

Next light 525 on my left, Mercedes AMG SUV on my right.

The SUV and I both smoke the 525, and she starts pulling on me till about 70 when she shuts it down.

I had NO idea that the AMG SUV was that fast ... she definitely could have smoked me.

Yeah, those ML55 AMG's are extremely fast. They have like 342hp, 376 ft. lbs. of torque and 0-60 in 6.4 seconds. Nice kill of the 525.

Ouch! That's always embarrasing when you try to keep up with a car that has just shy of 350 hp!

I know that no Max in stock form can beat a 330i....what about 530, since it has a heavier body?

Based on whight / HP it should be a close race, but the Max should win

3500 lbs / 225hp / 214 ft/lb of torque for the 530

3100 - 3200 lbs / 222 - 227 hp / 217 ft/lb torque for the max

Note that the 525 I whipped was *NEW* what is BMW thinking making a pansy 5 series with a mere 184hp????!!!!!

BMW actually has a 525i (184HP), 530i (225HP) and the existing 540i (282HP or so). So now it's 3 models to choose from instead of 2 like before. I guess they made the 525i to cover a little bit more of the market, specifically people who aren't all that interested in speed but just want the little propeller on their hood

Me too ... but when you consider that the 535 is $36,000 BASE and the 540 is $52,000 I would expect to get spanked by the 540. Hell if I laid out 36K for a 525 I would expect to be able to spank a Max... after all <chuckle> BMW is a "Driving Machine"
