Default run with an 03 BMW M3

On way home last night, on my usual way home on a straight i noticed an 03 plate M3 right up my arse, i decided to boot it as the road opened up and it was safe, now ive never come across an M3 before.

However, expecting to get walloped, the guy and 2 passengers attempted to overtake however they couldnt get past, bloody close though!. I think i got upto speeds of XXX, but decided to slow down as my turning was approaching.

Do you reckon the guy was a poor driver, i was expecting to get walloped, the M3 couldnt get pass but seemed to pull on me slightly.

I had my roof up and no passenger.

Poor driver?

Def an M3 as it had the characteristics, body etc.

NSL?

Sounds pretty dangerous either way to be honest...maybe he thought the same and pulled out of the manoeuvre.

NSL? - No sign language?

Not really, considering the roads empty and you can see for quite a while, wasnt going to go the whole hog anyways.

I would have thought he should have left you for dead, so probably bottled it at those speeds.

NSL = National Speed Limit (ie 60)

I don't think the S would be any real challenge for an M3 really..
