Wow, funny story! I had a similar experience today! I had to work at a different location today, so it was a 55 miles commute one way for me this morning.
I am driving along to work going about 80MPH, and I notice in my rear-view this car coming up pretty quickly. Once it gets a little closer I notice its a facelift X5, and I assume its a 3.0i since that's really all I see around here.
Since the guy is in an obvious hurry, I pull into the center lane to let him go by. He pulls even to me, I look over and give him a "WHAT'S UP!" nod. The D-bag does a quick blip on the gas pedal like he wants to race me! I think to myself WTF! This guy is in a 3.0i, is there something under the hood that I should be worried about?!!?
At this point, I am just highly annoyed by the guy. I point down to the side badge that says 4.8is, just to show him he doesn't stand a chance. Then he gives it another blip.
So, its time to loose the sucker. A quick downshift and a mash on the accelerator and he was in my rear-view rather quickly. For the rest of my drive to work he stayed well behind me he knew better.
How's the saying go? Other BMW driver hate other BMW drivers. I think that hold true unless you are part of a BMW club, like XOutpost.
