'98 540i (6-speed) VS. '95 M3

[328 is man]

Here's the story my cousin just bought a '98 540i and is talking smack from here to Canada. He says if we race I'll "be staring at his 255's the whole way". We would race on the street up to the quarter mile and then on the highway starting from 60mph. Heres the details:

His Car: Bone Stock '98 540i 6-speed
(He's an EXCELLENT driver)

My Car: '95 M3
Euro HFM
Tuner ECU
ECIS Inatke
Borla Cat-Back
(I am an average driver)

Whats it look like? Do I have a chance? Any advice. People with actual 540i versus E36 M3 experience are very appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Alex

I'd say with your mods you'll edge him out. You're probably putting 20-25rwhp more than stock down, so that is a healthy advantage.


If it were stock vs. stock it would come down to driver(and you seem to think he'll beat you).
