I am not racing but really curious how I would do. He has 445 hp but he said his is much heavier. I do feel better that my car is 1/10th the price lol.

From your sig your car sounds pretty stockish. I would say you would get railed just based on the fact he has at least 75 whp on you along with 14 years of technology

They are rated at about a 13 flat 1/4 mile, on the street I don't think you would get murdered, if nothing else possibly win

Problems with that is that BMW probably has launch control. 0-60 is rated at 4.2 and with an auto gearbox driver error is basically nonexistent.
