I'm currently driving a MB E450 convertible with 367hp. This car feels so much slower than my m40i. I seriously think the m40i is very much under repped in the hp department.

I traded my M40 for the number 1 on this list about 5 months ago.

That list is super rare, ultra expensive rides...they better be able to beat the M40!

It's all good, cool to read the stories about cars that got whooped too. I only titled the thread this way because for the most part, not many normal, everyday cars can compete.

This is why it feels so fast.

Haha, maybe "super rare" alone was improper terminology...super rare that someone has that kind of cash to buy one! You definitely don't see these cruising around everyday, at least I don't. You must be doing pretty damn well to have two of them

Yeah - loving the fact the three pointed star is tainting this site ;-)

Get that beast away from us all (albeit a VERY nice beast, with an awesome growl ;-)

He (Paradigmdawg) never misses a chance to remind everyone here on a BMW site that he has a 100k+ Mercedes C63 S AMG.

Don't believe that list. I am not sure a few on that list knew you were racing. BS on the RS3 and C63s

Eh, a lot of people don't know how to use the power their car produces. It doesn't surprise me that the M40i could beat them off the line, probably not in the 1/4 mile though...

It's not going to beat an RS3 off the line.

Audi's have horrible turbo lag, including the S and RS models. I had a '17 S6 prior to my M40i, so this isn't me repeating something I read in a magazine. So yes, the M40i could probably beat an RS3 off the line pretty easily, regardless of the lighter weight in the RS3.
