When you're stuck behind a car with double your horsepower but they refuse to utilize it. Damn you, E92 335i (thats the SR20)

90% likelihood it's a 50 year old woman with a bob who has never heard the term "N54." Pass it like you'd pass the Camry she should be driving.

Yes, because if they're not using all available power then they are clearly a bad driver. That's why I drive a 100hp shitbox redlined in top gear all the time.

I swear the majority of Bimmer drivers around here probably don't even know what an M3 is.

If I had 300hp I wouldn't be plodding along at 40.

I owned a pre-LCI E92 335 for four years and every time I saw another one - especially with aero kit or m-sport bumper - I got SO excited...only to get closer and realize that 9 times out of 10 it was a middle aged woman driving an automatic. I cant for the life of me figure out why they buy the 335 over the 328 when you can get them with the same options and they look identical. It's not like the 328 is underpowered. I think it comes down to just having to have the one with the higher price tag.

For me, finding another manual turbo Dart is damn near impossible.

And unless it's an M3, virtually every BMW driver around here would have been better off in an ES350, TL, Genesis, ect, but they gotta have that BMW badge to show off.

Ultimate Driving Machine is such a joke.

Lol absolutely. And almost all of them are leased.

Manual turbo dart? Sweet!

3-series and X5 drivers seem to be the worst offenders.

And yep, aside from the red Rallye launch Darts, mine is fairly rare. They even limited the 1.4T to one model for 2014 so it'll become even more rare, especially with a third pedal.

those n54s are neat because they make so much torque. Some local guy tuned his to make 350 hp and 450 lb ft of torques (which starts at 2000 rmp)! More torque than my v8 mustang!

Wow I didn't know it could be such a powerhouse.
