i saw a few weeks ago now a american chase btween there (and they couldnt stop saying it)440hp police cars and a e30 m3
the funny thing was the m3 eating them up
it dodged spike strips with ease and the cop cars almost didnt see them lol
then in a straight line the cops would catch up a little but were alost spinnig out trying to swerve like the m3 , then
lol
the m3 braked HARD and the cop car just couldnt do it , it got closer and closer and almost skidded into the back of the m3 ( the driver of the m3 sore it and swerved out of of the way .and the cop car just car just carryed on skidding
now theres a few cops around and in a straight line the cops level with the m3 and the m3 throws a dummy ram at the cop .....the cop bricks it and swerved on to the grass and the cop spins as hes completely sidways and theres no way hes catching that car sidways . he skids back on to the freeway and misses the next cop by a hair ,and hits the barrier ...lol

the m3 was making a fool of the jumped up americans in uniforms.
then lol
the m3 brakes down
and the driver lol hes 15 8O
the police are all like he was lucky he stopped ,its the best thing hes done , we were winning and stuff , but the m3 whooped them

sooo funny. :D

I've seen that video, if you look very carefully at the shot where the M3 'breaks down' is actually the same shot from when the cop nearly skids into the back of him but slowed down.

Good to see some old tech E30ness whooping some detroit dumpster with an engine in it!

They also quoted some outrageously inflated HP figure for the "Bavarian built Hot Rod"!!!! So it wouldn't sound like the police car was being whipped by a little car :lol:

Here you go guys

Edit just watched it not that outrageous 240HP claim fo the M3. I seemed to remember him saying somthing like 320HP :lol:

240 is still outrageous for a US spec model considering they're 192bhp after all the emissions crap has reduced the power.

They seem to have searched for the power figure of the most powerful standard E30 M3 you can get and used that :mad:

I very much doubt it is, definitely wouldn't have passed emissions tests.....gotta agree with the theory that they just didn't want to admit a car with only 192bhp was pissing all over their police cruisers!

Does he actually say it's supercharged hoshy? 8O

ive watched that so many times & love it every time i watch it, 15 years old, what a driver. dont agree with the theft of it tho.
that didnt break down, the bit they show of it breaking down is the bit where they lock up for the stinger, ive seen it on tv & theyre full of sh!t

I hate the way the cops keep saying how great there car is!! And it has a 'computer chip' (just to make it better than what normal public can buy). Good driver, just a bit of a 'sexed up' video. :?

'This bavarian built hotrod barrels past traffic at mind boggling speeds' 125mph isn't exactly mind boggling is it ?.

It gets worse 'The deputy's LT1 Camaro has the muscle to match the european racing car' Clearly not :roll:

Fecking yanks, always bigging themselves up :wan:
