BMW vs FTO.....who wins ?

Postby Kace » Fri Mar 05, 2004 10:39 pm

OK guys, I have seen varying opinions on this but would like a few more. I have seen some BMW owner postings on other sites rubbishing claims that the FTO can touch a 528 or 328.

I thought that the FTO would obviously win given the weight difference and I don't think there is any issue on winding roads and roundabouts. What about a drag from the lights though. Anyone any experiences here ?

I took a BMW 528 on the M50 - I beat him from standing start to 90mph at the toll bridge and then slowed down because of traffic and when road cleared he drove up my ass so I accelerated off and was losing him all the way to 120(ish) before I backed off cause I was scared of getting done - he passed me when I slowed down and pulled into slow lane and from the look on his face I'd say he was well pissed off :twisted:
