More street racing

I'm not feeling any BMW love from you, Mr. Ewing.  ;-)  Some of us bmw
drivers do the drag/autox thing.  I'm not much of a drag racer, but 15.6
@ 88 for a stock (at the time) 183k-mile 88 325is isn't too bad.  Luxury
car?  Yes, it is a great cruising car (before the 450f/600r suspension),
but it's autoxed twice monthly on average.

BTW, a newer style M3/M5 runs 13.3s.  I'd say that's fast.
