The best thing about street racing Bimmers (3 or 5 series) is that most of them won't do what's necessary for a good launch (dropping the clutch at 3000 RPM). They're afraid of hurting their expensive drive train. Most magazine guys are afraid to hurt the loaner because if they do, they may not get another one later.

That gives most of us an advantage off the line, but we'd better get it there, because these 3 and 5 series BMW's are awful fast. My $.02.
