1/4 mile in the mid 15's with a 140hp 4 banger?  You are either lying or mistaken.  I've found multiple sources that state its more like high 16's.

Took it out for a fun drive with some friends.

Went to a local track and It got 16.1.

Not so bad if you ask me. :)

I finally got a car. :D

BMW 525i, E39. Alpine White.

Today is my first day driving it and I've gotten so many evil looks from other drivers, apparently that car doesn't go as unnoticed as I would have liked in this town. :pinch:

Its an awesome car and the cornering ability is insane. DSC isn't as intrusive as I thought it would be, its actually pretty helpful.

I'll probably post some pics later.

:cool:

I am truly amazed by the cornering ability. Yesterday I was at a big mall/shopping center and since more than half of the parking lot was empty as it was early in the morning, I decided to see what the car could do. I turned off traction control, set it in sport mode and opened the moonroof so I could hear the engine. :p

I then did a series of spiral turns at different speeds, quickly changing direction to see how the car's weight would be transfered. At no point in time I felt like I had lost control over the car. The tires made constant screeching noise and would sometimes break traction, but the car's handling remained very predictable and precise.

When I was done there was a small crowd watching. :rofl:

Now I know from first hand experience why BMW is "The Ultimate Driving Machine". It makes driving FUN!.

    • watching him because of the Mr Klinton cat
    • yup dude, ADS on this website are terrible
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
