yeah, it didn't take that long to reach 155mph in an E46M3, Jimmy once went into T1 at TWS at ~150...

It's all because of the heavier UUC swaybars, they're slowing you down Nate.

I assume this is in the Ci? The M5 would get there in a blink of an eye I would assume.

A 320i would get to 150 faster.

Faster than what? My M3? I don't THINK so! Come to think of it can your 320 even do 150? Have you been tripping on acid or am I not appreciating your subtil sarcasm?

It's part of a long-running inside joke. I think TD said to Nate something along the lines of "a bone stock 320i could be better at AutoX than his 328" or something like that (theres more to this but don't let's not go there again). So Nate (for a LONG time) had in his sig the line "has yet to beaten by a bone stock 320i."

The RGal was just poking fun at that.
