a week ago on I-35E around lewisville my friend and i spot an bmw 850 cruising alongside us. the front headlights kinda reminded me of the early 90's preludes and it had two huge tailpipes in the back. i've never seen one of these before so i try to get him to play a little to see what it's got. i drop it down and give it some revs but the guy doesn't even look over. anyways i think he was just going home from work because he exits a few miles up. would have been interesting to race a V-12. anybody know what these things run in 1/4 mile/if they are rare?

You'd probably keep up with him pretty easily. Depends on what year 850 it was, but it's not like Ferrari made the V12 in there.

I heard they aren't that quick...like low 6's to high 6's in 0-60 ...they look pretty pimp IMO though!
