I was on the freeway tonight and raced a bmw 530..
Of course my car was faster, But when we came to a stand still on the freeway due to traffic he said i only drive a toyota and he drives a bmw 530 a much faster car than mine.

Is a bmw 530 faster an any way? 1/4 mile highway speed?

Whats the horsepower of a 530?

530 is a taste of your time to race. No point in listening to people that drives Bimmers cause they're all Lexus hater. Why they know its faster....end of story

You should just be flattered that he noticed your car. If you were driving an AMC pacer, he may not have cared because it wasn't in the same league. Come to think of it maybe he still wasn't in the same league and wanted to see how the better half lives.

have a good day

BMW 530 is the same as BMW 528, only with minor differences. ,,, grrr I would not even consider racing one with my GS4, only a 540 and up will be a little challeenge if at all.

Power to Lexus

Was it a newer or older 530. I have had some smartass older 530s try to run me before. The old 530 has a v8 in it. Pretty sweet engine but it's still no match for the G4.

That is not true! Maybe at Bimmer.org - but not necessarily in the real world...

Yeah y2kgs...Stop bashing us folks that own BMW as well as Lexus!

As for that particular 530, he was just jealous that you beat him! Next time, offer to race him for money since he owns a BMW...He will shut up real quick.

Hehheh the way I see it, owning a BMW and a LEXUS is like playing for the Yankee baseball team but at the same time your a fan for the Red Sox
