Simple Math:

987: 237 hp, 3130 lbs
335i: 300 hp, 3731 lbs

987 P/W = 0.075
BMW P/W = 0.080

Very similar power to weight.

The fact that the BMW is AWD and runs such fast quarter mile/0-60 times means it's probably geared for such. Boxster is also slippier, which helps you on highways.

Congrats, you beat BMW's entry level sedan. Hardly calls for the title "Why are BMW's so slow". I'm sure if you actually went to the track instead of street racing, you'd see some faster BMWs.

Please stop street racing.
