I had the priveledge of racing an E39 BMW M5 (latest Generation) on I-10. What a beautiful car... I have a short video and picture of it as well... if you would like to see a high res pic click here... otherwise here's a toned down version...



I tried to record the race on video of me running through 3rd and 4th with him but the camera turned off... I was ****ED... I did get a short little bit of us racing though, but the traffic really sucked as you can see... Anyways, I was pretty happy with the results... I in no means expected to spank this guy, but I did hang with him... It was a dead even race, neither one of us pulled on each other... which is about right considering they run about the same 1/4 time as me... Here's the video.

Frosty vs. BMW M5 Video

where is the video?

 

did you take that pic through a bowl of blueberry jello??

nice car, nice run... what's the TT for on the back of the M5?

 

It's at the bottom and it says Frosty vs BMW M5 Video

 

Haha, I didn't have time to adjust the white balance sorry, and I have no idea what the TT is for, perhaps some texas college...

 

Texas Tech since he is from Texas.

dang your car flies if it keeps up with that!

 

I've got the hlh0501 turbo kit.

 

oh ok, well that explains it.

speaking of him, did you see what he just did to his motor?

 

Yes... Stuff like that happens when you're putting out 500hp/500tq at the wheels.

 

Too bad it's only 15 seconds of you following him.
I would like to see you match an ///M5.

 

Where is this video taken?

BTW: Does Turbo attract Bugs to your windshield??? LMAO!

 

Link doesnt work

 

The TT on the car stands for twin turbo . LOL, Just kidding.

 

M5's are nice. how did I know you were gonna play w/ him before it happened?

glad to know you're still terrorizing people! be safe

 

The video was taken on I-10 inbetween Lafayette and Baton Rouge, Louisiana... And the swampy area on I-49 inbetween Shreveport and Lafayette is what attracted the bugs...

 

you hung with me??? are you sure he was trying?

BTW.....your car sounds really good. love the bov

 

Not sure what you mean by "you hung with me???" and also, yeah I'm sure he was trying... My car runs a 108mph trap in the 1/4, if you don't step on it, I'm leaving your ***........ quick...

Bryan

 

hahaha sorry, that was a typo. i really meant to say....."you hung with him??"

 

the video just shows you following him. Id be very pist off if I was running something like that and the camera goes off.


I ran an S4 last night. Have to upload the video, this was a side by side run.

 

Dude before I read about your turbo I was ready to call bull**** on you My apologies! Those are some great numbers you're puttin down man. God that M5 is so sick....

 

Thanks. I wanted to pull over and talk to the guy but he wouldn't even look over at me after it. (( I wanted to touch his car... and drool on it...

 

I know! Last Christmas at Books a Million I pulled up in front of a black 02 M5 that had the Dinan S2 package. The guy was in from Cali. We rapped a couple minutes about the 5 and the guy confirmed that it was FRIGHTENING to put the hammer down in it. That car was sex on wheels.....

 

that sucks you lost the 3rd and 4th gear run...that vid was a damn tease.

 

i wish i had an m5 but i just got to headlights instead

 

OK, well im in NJ, and my pop has a 01 M-5, if anyone in NJ wants to make a video let me know, i can take it whenever i want......

The most amazing thing about that car is that it does whatever you want or need it to, sex on wheels someone said, its true, you need to smoke a cigarette after driving this thing.

 

Just looks like your following the M5. I have seen a M5 lose to a Turbo Honda 4door with the D-engine. There is a couple around in houston, one has like every Dinan bolt-on and only puts like 400 to the ground.

 

I was following the M5 because of the huge amount of traffic... That and the fact that its much easier to record a video of whats in front of you rather than whats behind you if you're driving...
