Default Charger SRT-8 vs BMW 650i

The other day I was driving home when I noticed a black car weaving through traffic behind me. Once it got to my bumper I new it was a 6 series BMW. I have seen some Ms around and was hoping it was it was an M so I could see how I would do. It got beside me and started reving and jumping but there was too much traffic to play. As we headed out of town, he kept proding me. I turned to get on the interstate and he followed. Again he pulled up beside me and started to play. Now it was game on. There was light traffic and he got on it. I let him get out about four lenghts before I got on it and it was slaughter. He tried several times but the results were the same. I think he thought I was in a Datona. That was his mistake. It definately wasn't a fair run. As I aproached my exit I slowed down to give a wave but, he wouldn't even look over. Oh well, I still had fun.

I love the looks of the 6-series, even with the Bangle-Butt.

They're like big German musclecars.

Both have the same engine...the M5 weighs ~100 lbs more though.

huh, I would have thought the M6 was heavier. It looks longer to me. Guess it's just the long doors. I'd definitely own a 6 series over a 5 series though. Sex on wheels, german style. Makes me want to go buy a gimp suit.

For sure. I love BMWs quality and simple but sharp lines. First one I ever drove was a 550I and I couldnt believe how fast, QUITE, and comfortable it was. The sound system in it was hands down best factory stereo I ever heard.

OP, nice run/kill. Was it manual?!? ...with all that revving?

The brand new ones would give a stock SRT-8 a better run.

Something about the m6 that I just dont like. I think the m5 looks much nicer than an m6 even though it's a 4door. The 650i isn't all that fast even though you think it would be.
