The beaners made it worse than expected

Regarding my post of a month back....  I had just purchased my covetted Urq,
when my old ProRallye navigator showed up with his covetted 540i 6 speed...
 Well, I was impressed, flogging it to find it's flaws (couldn't), and more
so now that I read the numbers in the article on the beast (Jan 13 AW)....
  5.53 seconds to 60 and .84g on a skidpad, 14sec quarter mile, 1.0g braking
at 118feet from 60 (this is AW numbers, guys, not C&D's abusives).......
  Holy cow, is this a rocket or what....  All at 3700lbs.....  And the
numbers would've been better if wider tires were fitted (and it comes with
235/45 on 17X8)!  My assessment of respect stands on that auto pretty well,
quite the q killer... Pray for snow all....  

Guess I'll have to do the 20vt conversion after all, this just plain changes
things.....  :)

mumble mumble...
