There's no way a well driven E90 or F30 335i is going to lose any straight line speed contest to a 2.7L Boxster. I would be ill-advised to take one on with my 3.2.

Also, street racing is stupid.
Perhaps he kept missing gears, always a possibility, although that's less likely at highway speeds but who knows? Maybe he slipped from 3rd to 5th each time

But in my opinion, if a car is so difficult to drive that an owner of the vehicle would keep missing gears then that's a partial reflection on the vehicle itself. Why own a vehicle that's difficult to drive that only a professional can get to accelerate well?
