00 3.2 tl vs. 00 BMW 325i

I was wondering who would win in a race between those two cars?

If you're talking 1/4 mile races, I would think the TL.

Anyone with experience?

Definitely the TL. Even with a manual tranny in the 325i, the TL would probably win.

Hmmm, you must be talking about automatic 325's, because a manual 325 vs. stock GS-R will be a toss-up.

No, I think we're talking about a 2000 TL (non Type-S).

Car 1: 08 TL
Car 2: 1993 BMW 525
Here's what I found.

FYI, there was not a 325i in 2000, it was the 323i and a tad bit slower than the 01 325.

Expect autos to be .5-1 second slower
