If someone on here was able to mod their E90 to beat a stock M3, and he was able to show it, would you guys still be saying the same thing? The one thing I hate about BMWs and their drivers is that just because at the end of the day you go home beat, you're somehow still a "winner" because you drive a BMW. Honestly, your a loser, I don't care which way around it, sure you drive an M3, but you guys honestly have to give this guy with an A4 respect, that he was able to tune his engine enough to beat an M3, and out of anyone, I'd expect BMW drivers to know how quick M3's really are.

I understand that it might not be fair to compare this car to that car because this car has this and that car has that, but honestly, if you were on the street in an M3 and some "punk ass fool" in an A4 (just because he rolls an A4) and shows that he wants a challenge and takes you, you're not going to complain that his car was modded and beat you, you'd probably still be in shock that your $50,000+ M3 was just beat by an A4, and honestly I give this guy some props, I think he should come out to LA and spank some of these M3 drivers. Mad props to the guy in the A4

PS: This wasn't directed at anyone intentionally and I'm not trying to flame anyone--just bring up a point

No, honestly. Just no.

But I blew the 1.8 t engine

Thank you.

And THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is why a tuned 1.8T does NOT deserve the same amount of respect as the S54 engine.
