Default Bmw 760

I know I know but he started it. Wasn't paying attention when this silver 760 passes me on the inside and cuts hard in front of me, pulls for a couple of seconds then shuts down. I move up through traffic so that we can have a couple of free lanes, slow down and wait for him to pull along side. I would have just left it in 5th but the way he cut me off was just rude so I rev matched down to 3rd and waited for him to take the hit. Other then having to keep the rear end planted it was over in a couple of seconds. I really need to get the electric cutout fixed, always good to see the eyes go the size of dog ***** when the sound bangs off the concrete divider.

Jfk all over again.

Now get your *** out from behind that grassy knoll and find someone worth the heads up.

Btw. Impressive that you hit 130 mph with a medium setup. Gratzi

Not the first time you surprised a bimmer owner

Op, from your sig you sound like you have a beast. Got any vids? I know what you are sayin about the cutout echoing off objects. My cutout still scares the **** out of me.

The OP has a 442 w/ 235 heads. Doesn't really matter.

Exactly. 550rwhp and viper sized tons of torque means that 130mph should be easy to hit.

Just that a 760Li will beat half the cars on this site.

when i used to work for bmw i had the opportunity to take a 760 out. Let me tell you its smooth as hell and gobs of torque. Blazing fast for the amount it weighs no doubt. Ton of respect for that car. OP having 550rwhp and weigh alot less is just no match.

Maybe against 400lb cars, but the fact that the OP makes more at the wheel than he does at the engine, kinda negates that. And he weighs a lot less.
