BMW 745i vs 182

[Davey_182]

I had the good grace and pleasure of having a play with a 745i from the lights on a national speed limit from a standing start then another round about about 1k after then another national speed limit! who came out tops?

 

[rory182]

off the lights the BMW should have won, if it was a straight road, he should have humped u really lol

 

[Adam]

i would of sed the bm

 

[rory182]

the BHP / Ton aint great on em but they list 0-60 as 5.9 secs

 

[ant]

could have been a right old duffer tho?

 

[Davey_182]

I thought he should have won but he was a ball hair behind me to 70 couldn't cope with the roundabout backed off then came up on me again at 70 and i let him f off and do a ton 30

 

[Adam]

^^^ true....
just get the reply up davey...lol

edit just seen the reply...

 

[rory182]

lol that sounds about right to be fair, they usually dont know how to drive their big RWD cars. And they take offence when u beat them, then they sail past u as u grin in ur victory over the car that cost maybe 3 times as much as urs muahahhaha

 

[ant]

i meant the car btw

 

[Davey_182]

he looked f**kin stunned!!

 

[Davey_182]

private plate with his name on it....t**t! lol

 

[Adam]

not suprised being whipped by a bean can,,,,l)

 

[Justin182]

lol... had a similar experience with a 730 i

 

[fubu172]

Is always fun beating expensive cars.
Jags, mercs and the like
Like someone said the look on their face is GREAT!

 

[Zebrs]

Had one of these chasing me up a long slip road onto the M27, soon as you get towards the speed limit they take you easily. Was really shocked at the time. Bloke must of been 70+ as well.

 

[Ben j]

tjhing is most bm drivers cant drive for s**t. i had one sat up my ass the other day in my works kangoo van. (the road i was on went to a roundabout, then a short dual carriage way bit, then closes back in again) i went round the roundabout not even need ing to slow down, by the time the road close back in again to one lane he only just caught back up and was sittin on my ass again. fool

 

[Davey_182]

They just don't think the wee fella is going to produce the goods. The guy in the 745 looked genuinely stunned wtf how much did that car cost?!

 

[Davey_182]

on a lighter note someone tried to take me today in a 1.8 astra! for the sake of my dignity i let him! he'll be telling his mates about it now!

letting the side down...lol

 

[Justin182]

Showed a astra 2.2 who was boss the other day, but to be fair it was 3 up. Their quite fast !!

 

[rory182]

not as fast as the 2.0 turbo GSI's

 

[Justin182]

not as fast as the 2.0 turbo GSI's

True.... how do we get on against them?

 

[W3STY]

I've had a go off the lights with 2 Astra GSIs. 1st one I nailed him on the start and pissed him off. Second time I was behind one when I was 2 up off the lights and there was bob all in it, i was sat on his Jacksie but was never getting past lol.

Dont get many races nowdays, had loads with my Polo GTI, think people tend not to bother when they see its an RS.

[gazcaddy]

yeah the 745 are powerful but they weight about two ton, obviosuly at high speeds 90+ they will batter the 182

 

[Neil G]

745 is just an outside lane cruising machine for old farts

 

[Fletcher]

At the moment everyones trying to race me and my Clio of the lights god knows why?

 

[Neil G]

Never experienced any of this road racing stuff in my Clio....don't drive it that much though.

 

[Cupster]

^^ I think the 2.2's have about 160 horses???

I tried to play with a Merc S500 (non AMG) on the motorway, Its the only car that has actually flashed me out of the way and left me for dead!

 

[Stev]

one of my mates has a astra gsi turbo he thinks he will be able to see me easy but i told him he will be in for a shock

 

[Neil G]

He will have a shock if there are any corners around

 

[Mike-bham]

I found that I had to really nail it though to keep up with a 730 d in a straight line... kept up with him, but only just really.

 

[Daniel]

down hill with the wind behind them...

 

[NOT! gary l]

had an old boy in a scooby try it on with me at the lights, got to hand it to him though, this thing was beatiful and sounded even better, the rumble from the exhaust then his dump valve would have had me wet if i was a female!

shame he mustve been too blind to notice my 1.2 badge!! was he expecting a fair go??:S
