E46 M3 Convertible Vs. Me @ 12lbs

[Chicagos13]

Last night I'm out for a drive and pretty much outta nowhere comes this E46 convertible M3 racing through traffic to catch up to me. When he does, I see it's this middle-aged guy probably at least 55 with what would appear to be his wife. He gets up next to me and starts reving, so I give him the ol' HKS shreek in his ear. We finally come to a red light and there are some cars ahead of us. This is my turn so I go right. Then this guy stops traffic to change lanes to follow and I was like it's on. He pulls up next to me, downshifts, and takes off. He slows down and does it again, then a third and forth time. Finally, I'm like F this guy, I'll see what I can do. I pull up next to him, but he takes off before my nose even gets past his door. I pull up again and he does the same, but this time I go too, only he's got a half second start. I started reeling him in like nobody's business! We get up to a stop light and this guy is starring and shaking his head as if to say "damn imports". Then my gf rolls down her window and yells to the guy "how's your midlife crisis coming?" His wife starts laughing at him like it's the funniest thing ever. It was funnier in person, one of those where you had to be there. Anyways, thought those M3's were faster, guess not.

u are cool now

[Chicagos13]

Slightly uncalled for, just sharing a story that I thought was funny. I wasn't even expecting to pull on this car (thought it was faster) but I guess you're right...I am cool.

Good kill.

Is the E46 the 2k2+ M3?

Fred..

[AJ1356]

that is pretty neat and funny, i thought it would be hard to smoke an E46 m3. now i have a story to tell my freind who is always like why are you wasteing your time with the 240 , and yesterday he points to a e46 m3 and say you wont be able to beat that... but now there is hope for me

Was the ending comment seriously nesscesary? I mean couldn't you just respect a guy who was wanting to have alittle bit of fun. I don't know many 55 year old guys out there racing around.

[naed240sx]

Yeah, what he said^

[Morph]

That was his Gf

[Veriest1]

E46 M3 convertible puts down 333hp and wieghs 3,781 pounds. It's no Z06 beater.

While not overly fast they're well rounded as far as handling, and luxery, and power go. Of the 3 generations of M3's the E46 is the least Motorsport of all even though it has the most horsepower.

dude dont let anyone give you crap... i just pictured that in my head and actually just laughed out loud a little...

[574-240sx]

Thats pretty dam funny. Why when this happens to me it always seems to be a 1980something toyota corolla/camry.

[Florida240sx]

Yea I give your gf props for sayign that.I mean why the h3ll not.Especially his wife laughing at him.If you can't handle comments coming at you then don't put yourself in a position where they can be made.Just like everytime I pull up next to a dodge I get on my PA and say "that thing got a HEMI?" They get pissed.

OMG, thats hilarious, I just pictured a little 240 pulling up beside a huge dodge truck, then asking over a pa if its got a hemi!!! Funny stuff .

Well, i find the m3 story funny since he was bein a jerk and you didn't want to race him at first, then had too to get him off ur a** and beat him in ur 5k car! Thats funny to me .

On sat night i got smoked by a Turbo AWD eagle talon that looked like it was being driven by a 40 yr old lady. hahaha

[st33f]

haha damn old ladies!

nice kill, dont let people get u down, he wanted to go... you go'd. I ran this older black dude in a Black 2003 with some nice stoptechs and light mods... he was mad cool- he even pulled into my street to give me props on my car. He was glad to see a young person with a import that ran like it sounds

[Henry G]

Maybe he'll sell his M3 now. lol

[Jookmasta]

congrats on the kill. i thought they were faster too. guess not. maybe i can take him at six pounds eh eh eh????? lol. that comment to him was priceless tho

[Red coupe]

u are cool now

your gf too ROFLMAO best street racing story evar. Geo lighten up man after all the M# drive was the one no only provoking him but also not even letting you get a fair start with him.I don't really ever street race but occasionally Ill mess around with friends and I hate when people act like they wanna race, don't even give you a chance to take off at the same time as them then think they are winning. HE is entitled to at least one comment having beat the guy....

"how's your midlife crisis coming?" His wife starts laughing at him like it's the funniest thing ever.

classic

I wish i had a girlfriend to yell out my car window,I wish so much,everyday I spend all alone But on a happier note for me I beat a 2004 M3 last week,Looked like a old man driving it too.I beat him at 10psi,He was a good 10feet behind my rear bumper.And i had a 210lb human in my car to boot.

[Chicagos13]

I thought it was a great kill as well. I was shocked that it didn't pull harder. The convertible will add some weight too though. Anyways, I guess any of you SR or KA-T powered guys out there with over 230hp don't need to fear these stock M3's. Glad everyone enjoyed the story. My gf and I have been cracking jokes about it since. Totally priceless.

[HashiriyaS14]

It's all about the E30:

Or the original 3.0 CSL:

Nice kill though, E46 M3's are very capable cars.
