Hi Mr. Ho and fellow BMW forumers, it was out of curiousity that brought me to this thread, and I have to say, it is extremely interesting and exciting to read the development. Nevertheless, I'm not an owner of a BMW at this point in time, but believe me not, the Beemer has always been a wonderful ride and top my list of dream cars.
Having said that, I would also like to highlight that a 330 is definitely a hell of a ride. To top it, I seriously respect owner who respect the government ruling on speed limit and hence, driving at 100km/h. Just so you know, the speed limit in Singapore's highway is 90km/h, so at 100km/h you're still speeding. Need less to say better traffic lights. Sigh!
With reference to 330 being a 6 second car, we have no doubt about it, and it definitely can take on most ride on this tiny little island of ours, without much effort. But whining over being overtaken by another ride to me is childish and sore. I guess in our today's environment, we are all potentially rushing for time, and may not have the luxury to always keep within limit, and having such a ride of a life time, it's simply too temping to push it a little hard and test the government polices. So my point, let it slide, let's respect other road users, they may be rushing for something urgent and for sure, that is not displayed in the rear wind screen when the Mark-X overtook YOU! And when someone is driving at 60km/h, do we need to also post that online? Puzzle me, cos' the forum will be full of thread on who is going at 60km/h, 76km/h, 102km/h and so on so for. If you can't take being overtaken, drive faster!
On one of the thread, it was indicated that a 330 with a 6 sec 0-100km/h will take off way ahead of a Mark-X potentially 8sec, 0-100km. And considering that, the 330 will be X number hrs ahead of the Mark-X when reach bla bla destination (like I bother reading too much into it). But being a within limits kinda of guy, and a guru in mathematics, keeping at 100km/h will actually put YOU behind the Mark-X for a number of hours, as indicated that the Mark-X needs to go at 150km/h to overtake you. And with your words OVERTAKE, how can you be ahead. If you're driving at 100km/h. STOP whining when a 1L car overtake you. So suck it up and swallow, or learn to drive faster!
Having said so much, I still turely respect the 330 as a wonderful car built by the Germans, but I can't say much about the dude behind the wheels. If I own such a ride, I'll definitely enjoy the potential, of course, if one has it. Can't speak for other owner, cos' they're pure show off, maybe need to drive slowly so the whole freaking world can see HIS ride. Might as well get a M3 sticker on the ride, can save all the MOD as well.
I guess by now, you know I drives a Mark-X, and I have to say, YES, 330 is definitely a fast car, and a definitely a ride many would love. But balls of THAT driver, a definite laughing stock! With those forthcoming MODS, I seriously think your money is well spend if you're driving at 100km/h MAX (Hope Beemer don't do speed car on 330, which I'm sure, but maybe on those VERY VERY HO ones). I just hope you have a RJ45 point somewhere on your head. It will definitely access the net. Try this site,
