Had a great "bye bye" with a Bling MW 328i Coupe last night... i was really surprised how well the S faired actually as i'm no great buff on cars and performance, just wanted to give it a go as the guy was obviousley up for it.
I had the roof down and man the sound from the BM gearbox as he clanked thru it, all to no avail though.
Just wondered how big a BM this thing will eat?

It'll take 330s and 530s but if an M guns it, forget it. You are ok from a stand but when the speed picks up it gets a bit messy.

... and messy's my middle name!!

Should do a 330, but be careful as they've got the torque. Easier for them to put their foot down and catch you out. Over a fair distance you'll do them though.

If it's wet, have a go against a breadvan at the lights - make sure it's not newer than 2001 though cos they have TC

Think the 328's have about 196bhp.

There was a 328 at the Keevil day I did in my S.. was being lapped a lot - seemed to like understeering too, but I think that was driver error

Also from my experience the S is dead even with a manual 540i-I did that along a fairly wide country road-nothing to separate the cars with both of us caning it on the straights but not taking risks at corners. Impressive that the S can keep up with a car with a 4.4 litre V8 and comparatively huge torque figures.

Exactly what I was going to post...couldn't tell if was a manual 540i or not but had great fun up and down the 'tunnel road' with one(3-4 years ago now..!!!), wound him in and crept past but over 120(kph) he would keep me at arms length....

He also had 4 people in...
