So this guy at my job called me out, saying he would destroy my car either from a dig or a roll. Didn’t matter to him. I said « Sure, entirely possible ». But then he went on about how it wasn’t « possible » but a « certainty » and blah blah blah b58 or something. Kept pushing me into racing him on the street but that’s not my thing so I proposed we race on the closest drag strip this weekend. Obviously he accepted and then kept messaging me on Teams about how he’ll gap me.

Anyway, in case it wasn’t obvious enough, he’s kind of a dick. Still, I’m a bit worried. I mean, M340i xdrive are no joke. I didn’t ask for this and I feel like he’ll keep being a dick if I lose to him.

As far as I know, he has a catback on his car and that’s about it. On my hand, I have denso plugs, aem intakes, velossa tech snorkels, ark mid downpipes, mbrp catback and a jb4. Last time I did a quarter mile, I ran 12.3 @ 113 using map 2 but I did not have any modified intakes nor the snorkels. I feel like the car is perceptibly faster now with them installed. Haven’t tried a quarter mile yet but my 0-60 has been improved. In fact, my current map 1 0-60 (3.9s with 1ft roll) is faster than my previous map 2 0-60 (4.05s with 1ft roll) without the intakes/snorkels.

I’m going for map 2 for the race. I was maybe even considering map 3. I do not have access to E85 here. Only 91 but I was thinking about adding some mmt octane booster like VP Racing or boostane. Do you guys think this could be doable?

Anyway, what do you guys think? Do I stand a chance?

You’ve got about the same mods as me. I would suggest you go with an E blend. Try 25 litres e85 to 35 litres 91, reset your ECU, log a run or two on map 2, check them they will likely be excellent unless you got a bad e85 or 91 in your blend. Move to map 3 and his somewhat stock beamer will be in your mirrors. Good luck….but ya don’t need it.

I’m pretty sure the catback is all he has. I overheard him mentioning that‘s all he could afford as of now.

You’ll be sending him straight to his piggy bank after the race.

what everyone else said.... I'd love to see a video, win or lose, i've been wanting to see a good race of a tuned stinger vs a g20 m340xi..

Sting him bro! You got it

Race confirmed to be this Sunday!

Edit: Just wanted to add that he confirmed he had an aftermarket exhaust and nothing else. He doesn't need any other mod apparently (his words). Other than that, the dude kept bragging again during our break. I told him I wasn't so sure it would be as much of a gap as he thinks it will be but then he started laughing and said he already beat tons of cars faster than mine.

He's well aware that my car has some mods yet he doesn't give the slightest concern. Plus there were some guys with us during our break that laughed alongside him thinking alike.

On one hand I can't wait to figure out which is faster. On the other hand his god damn confidence coupled with his attitude concern me for the aftermath in case I lose

Show him the tailights fam

Run at least map 2 and watch him run himself ragged modding that car. We go back and forth a bit about our cars at work too but most of us aren't that childish about it. It's all in good fun.

On another note...guy goes and buys a new M340i but can't afford to mod it?

It's a lease. I think he shot higher than what he can actually afford but I'm not going to trash him on that. I know the feeling of allowing myself something I shouldn't be able to afford and having to cut on lots of stuff just to have it. I've been there earlier in my life.

Dude acts like he has an actual M3. I really hope you beat him so he can go cry in the car afterward

BMS Brake Snip for the win.

If you get the win get a giant poster sized print of the slip printed out and hang it up in the office for all to see...

There is nooo way a stock m340 beats a jb4 stinger.

 

[Ohiocruiser]

Sorry for being a party pooper, if bmw owner knows how to launch it properly, i say he wins. But since, he sounds like a complete a..hole, let's all hope he loses.

 

[westcoastGT]

F Him ! You go on and win and make us proud ....................BMW drivers can be such dicks ! you are a winner with all of us either way !!

 

[AusStinger]

No pressure though....

I watched some numbers regarding the M340i xdrive. I was under the impression it was a 12.1-12.2s car but according to some videos on youtube it can do 11.9 @ 115-116 stock.

Since best I could do on racebox was 12.3 @ 113, I'm a bit worried. Did have stock intakes and no snorkels though.

The stock intakes on the stinger are apparently ridiculously restricted and I've read reports here that the snorkels help with trap speed. Not expecting a miracle here but I do hope it'll make a difference. Otherwise I'll be done for.

Don't worry. Even if you were to lose, itll be very close. But imo it will really all depend on your reaction time. Nail that down and you got the dub.
