Good question about the BMW 840i.
The answer is: "because due to traffic I'll still be behind you at the next stoplight ... laughing in my sleeve"
Funny thing is I had exactly this situation today
I was helping my sister out to move her stuff to her new house, so I was there with my small yet handy car and my hauling cart (don't know the word for this thing in english).
One of her friends was there with a completely tuned racing style car making a huge noise.
So we rode to her new house ... and he rode in front of me and was constantly trying to pass averyone in traffic and still making huge noises and generally driving like a total idiot.
I'm pretty good at getting through traffic easily by analyzing the situation and I can corner pretty well, so by the time we arrived at her new house ... I was right behind him
He didn't even actually help the actual "moving" either because he had no room whatsoever in his car.
Fast cars are good for races ... not for casual people.
