Last Gen 5-Series

I was coming home from work yesterday and I came upon an RSX-S at a light and used a merge lane to get behind him. We travelled down the on ramp to I-95 and as we're hitting the freeway, i downshift as usual and give him a little push, to see if he's up for it. I was in 3rd @ 40, not too aggressive, but i didn't want him to smoke me in case he took off (for those of you who don't know i have a US Si). So he eventually gets up to speed, and it doesn't look like he's going to bite. There is light traffic ahead, so whatever. Then in my rearview i see BMW lights creepin at a good clip. Not to be outdone, i switch lanes in front of him to let him know i'm there. The RSX is still not biting, so i'm not worried about him anymore. The beamer and i jockey through the little bit of traffic there is, and he ends up in front of me, it's a 530. We are in the 2nd from left lane, and i see an opening coming up in the far right lane (four lanes), you know when you can tell, so i pre-emptive downshift to 3rd @65... anyway, he sees it too, and as soon as he makes his move, i hammer it. the first lane change was fun at that speed with acceleration, i was impressed with how my car handled it. he pulled on me a little in 3rd, and we just kept climbing through fourth and fifth, and we hit 120. He kept flying, but my exit was coming up, so i tapped. I love riding with BMWs, they look SOOOOO good.

Yes, we all know the dangers of street racing. Don't come in here and preach about it. It just ruins the thread.

thank you S2K man...

and in my defense, i was on I-95, the largest and most expensive interstate on the east coast, on a section that i drive every day, with minimal traffic. and i was not "racing" the BMW to get ahead of him, i just wanted to see how my car would take it. damn...

let thee without sin cast the first stone...
