Outran a M-Series Wagon on the Autobahn w/ my Z28 I usually don't post in this section, nor do I normally race the "locals" here in Germany..... but the driver of the BMW I raced today totally deserved to get stomped by some modern American muscle. Sorry, no video, as this was not a "planned event".
I was heading down the A6 Autobahn doing about 95-100mph when I passed a very new looking BMW Station wagon with an "M" badge on the back. Not sure the model, but by the size it looked like a 5-series. (The German BMWs don't usually have the series number on the back like the US - spec'd cars do). Anyhow, the Beemer was doing around 80 when I passed him. I saw the driver swerve hard from the far right to the far left lane after I passed him and start to catch up. This peaked my interest.
Anyhow, I decided that I was NOT going to be outrun by a station wagon, so I eased on the gas myself. This BMW was suprisingly fast. He pulled alongside me, paused for a couple seconds, and then swerved hard into my lane. (We were doing about 130mph when he did this stupid...and dangerous maneuver). Needless to say, this irritated me. I dropped into 5th gear to pull away from him. I think he hit his top speed limiter right after that, as I continued to build some distance before letting off the gas. The driver of the BMW then started to tailgate me, honking his horn, flashing his lights, etc. He did this for about 2-miles before finally conceding that he lost and calmed down. He was a very sore loser.
Regardless of the fact he was a dangerous *****.... he still lost. Goes to show that despite their driver training, Germans can be as retarded as anyone else when they feel "dishonored"
Lesson learned, he should have bought American.
