Nice BMW Kill Today!

Nice BMW Kill Today! I blew by him on the freeway, then waited for him to come back for the challenge, which he did. From a roll at 75 mph, I pulled away no problem in 5th gear (I have 4.11's,) but not as fast as I expected. I slowed back down to 75, and he came back for a second try. This time I took him in 4th gear and really ran away from him, as the engine got up on the cam this time. He was pretty upset, and wanted to run a third time, but I called it quits. It was a new BMW 750i. I just read on the web this is the flagship BMW with a 360 hp V8 from the factory. Obviously a heavier car, but after a mile or so I don't think weight is a big factor. Anybody know how much these weigh?

4600lbs. 4.8 liter V8
360HP@6300
360TQ@3400
It's a pig for 75k
The 760 is 440horse and torque and both of those pale in comparison to the new M5. GTO size and wait with 500hp, try one of those on for size.

I guess he thought he was fast because he spent 75K; he sure had a hard time accepting a cheap Chevy as being faster.
Yeah I heard about that new 500 hp BMW engine. A V10 aluminum engine, but with no cylinder liners. I'm not sure how they are going to last with a design like that.
