My '99 540i Auto would walk that Z all day. All I have is an Exhaust and Chip. I dynoed 240WHP/272WTQ at 6200 ft. elevation. Something is wrong with that 540i, I guarantee it. I have alot of videos to back it up too, I have to upload them still.

I've walked mildly modded 2007 350's with my stock 1995 185k mile 540 6-spd. I agree the automatic 540's are rather slow. I'd beat this 350 up and down, with my stock car.

This video has been discussed quite a bit over at bimmerforums.com. It was a good run by the 350z but the 540i was an auto lux with the 3.15 diff. The "autotragics" are known to be a good bit slower than the 6-speeds. I'm not trying to take away anything from the Z owner (nice car btw!) but I've walked some pretty stout pre-'07 Z's in my 540i (Dinan Stage 4) 6-speed.

Good kill non-the less

WOW, that is one the meanest sounding 350's I have ever heard. Test pipes????

It kept up well down low due to having good torque, but after that it was done, especially from a dig.

are you watching the same video as me? That's not keeping up. If it is, then i guess i do a damn good job of keeping up with a corvette z06.

Bimmer kep up pretty good for being heavier and having less power. A 540i has 282hp to the motor.

350Z with minor bolt-ons vs 2001 BMW 540i, and at the end vs another 350 with a crappy driver
