I've seen this Bimmer (E46) rollin around campus with 18" ACS Type 3's and slammed suspension and clears and all, but have never gotten to talk to him or anything. Well, tonight I sort of got to meet him (well, kinda :-)) he was behind me on a two lane road with a car next to me, the car turned off, and I was watching him to see what he would do. Well, he immediately pulled over and nailed it, by the time I got to downshift and nail it, I was at about his rear door (4 door), so that was really the start of the race (about 30mph), and we went to only about 50mph because of cars ahead, well in that small amount, I passed by him and put him behind my rear bumper; so, I thought that was a good bit to pull on him since he got the jump and we hardly raced. I wanted to have a real race with him, but he turned off right away, I guess he was convinced. Oh well, I'm sure I'll see him again. BTW, I'm not sure if it was a 323 or 328, because it was dark and the rims weren't stock; he did have stock exhaust though (I think so atleast), so I don't know if it was modded or not. Either way, I was happy that I pulled on him that much in that little amount of time. BTW, my car has intake/exhaust/clutchstop. Mark another win for my Bimmer!! (Now I'm like 9-1, the loss to a highly modded Eclipse runnin 18 psi; wins included 4 or 5 modded V8 Mustangs, new Celica GTS, and some others)

Update on this Bimmer, I saw it in the mall parking lot and went up to check it out:
It's a 323i w/ the 5-speed, 18" AC Schnitzer rims and lowered suspension; besides that it looked stock from the outside.
I also passed by him going the opposite direction the other day and I gave it a little rev and he was checking mine out all over, I think he realized I was the one who he raced, and got beat by :D !!
