Any idea who's MS3 this is?

I can tell this video was filmed on the 401 by the airport, but there is no license plate on that MS3 at the front.

Obviously the MS3 didn't take that BMW on, for obvious reasons seeing as how there was traffic :loco

On a hot day the 135i's that I have driven felt similarly quick to what my ms3 felt with a tbe, intake, fmic, ap etc. albeit with a much less abrupt power delivery ... if both cars in the video were stock I wouldn't put it past the BMW to walk the ms3 although I agree it doesn't really look like a racing video

[-cj-]

The MS3 isn't racing. Look at the car behind the MS3 and the fact he isn't being left behind. I think it was edited to look like a race...

NOT A RACE

You sure that's in Canada? There is no front license plate.

The guy just honked and then gunned it and pulled away.. the MS3 didn't do anything.

[yearoftherat]

that was just a waste of 14 seconds..

Looks exactly like the stretch of 401 across from YYZ.

edit - Actually now I'm starting to doubt that's actually the 401. Either way, dumb video and it wasn't a race lol.

[KVS17]

whats that paper on the back windshield? was he test driving the BMW? lol

[Roconne]

Probably a temp tag for whatever state he is from.

[Soyabean]

lame

Well I definitely think its on the 401 Eastbound, after the 403, past the Collector to Express interchange/ramp.

Either way, I just wanted to know who it was that had the common sense to not race this idiot...lol

[JashiK]

not all provinces in Canada require a front lic. plate.

The ms3 is driven by a mature driver, the driver in the 335 however is an idiot!

Motor Trend tested a stock Automatic 135i that ran 13.30's in the 1/4 mile and 0-60 in 4.7sec.. I wouldnt race one in a Speed 3.

105 trap stock... like I said earlier it felt similarly quick to what my ms3 did fully bolted. Horrible driver excluded, a x35i would walk a stock to slightly moded ms3 on the straight or the track based on the lighting lap times (C&D)

Yeah definitely not a car to mess with unless your packing some serious heat.

And those N54s can easily extract power.

looks like they slowed down in traffic to drag??? Look at traffic thru the driver's window on the first few second of the clip, they started slower than traffic.

The 335i started in first gear, ms3 probably in 2nd due to shorter powerband and gearing. it'll be quiet hard to control a high speed rolling race in 1st.

if you look at the car left of the ms3 by 12 second of the clip the ms3 is definately going at it.

The 335i speed warning comes on at 130km/h, which you hear more towards the end of clip. It took the 335i 10 seconds to reach 130km/h.... strange?

could be weatherb?
