BMW vs Nissan

Cars-
Me: 2001 BMW 325ci Convertible
Him: 2001 Nissan Maxima SE

Well, I was driving back to my house from the grandparents in my moms car (mom was a few miles back in car with step-dad)... this guy in the maxima starts tailgating me... we slowly pass traffic doing about 80... we get in front of traffic and fly by each other a few times, then we line up at 60... I look over and nod, he nods back... beep, beep, beep, we take off... by 120 he is a good 3 buslenghts back... it was so much fun- I knew I'd win, but still fun... I slowed down and gave the thumbs up and he smiled and nodded back... and this was with me, my dog, and about 200lbs of luggage and gifts in the car... was a rush

Pardon? A Nissan Maxima SE (bottom of the line) is an overall faster car than a BMW 325ci? Are you joking? The BMW at high speeds is phenominal (sp?), stable as if it were going 20 and silky smooth ride...

the BMW 325Ci Coupé
Performance Specs

Engine: 2.5L Inline-6, 24V
Power: 184 @ 6000

Add to that the fact that the BMW in question is a convertible, and things get weirder...

Oh well, nice kill!
