Dude shoulda killed me! lol
But I had some fun and learned a lil about bimmers in the process(really don't know **** about em...obviously).
They have some pretty strict break in rules for the motor. Maybe he was keeping the RPM's below their recommendation, or you may be right and he was a horrible driver.

Must have been fun!

I ran into one last year. Bone stock Phoenix Yellow E46, the guy had just picked it up and was looking to mess around so I played. It obviously didn't go too well for him and after he heard what was done to my car he knew that should be the outcome but he was a cool guy and the car was mint. My favorite year for those cars and the only one I had ever seen in that color. Wish BMW had put a bigger V8 in the new ones.

Those E46 M3s are one of the nicest looking cars around, in my opinion, though.
i agree the M3 is the nicest...cuz i have one..lol

OP nice run, sounds like you beat the driver. If it was a 7spd DCT car, he was really, really bad.

They're very nice cars that perform very well. I would love to have a new one in my garage but a Vette is calling my name
Twisty roads are entirely different than a road circuity with apexes, no curbs/trees, late braking zones, etc. No comparison whatsoever.

The SCCA has the 350Z, M3 & Evo all in the T2 class. NASA in the PTC class except the Evo in PTB with the Nismo 350Z.

Hmmm I don't think I've seen you guys either. I'm AF. Drive a black 99 Z28 with Bassani duals out the back and billet LS1 badges. Otherwise it looks stock, well the Nittos but they're running on stock wheels so... most don't notice those either.

I beat a '99 m3 in my old c1500, so a bad driver is a def. possibility.
