I overtook a BMW!!!

Explaining the title would take a while. An interesting day that began with me swearing at a Honda City guy. Well i was riding my bike to the gym at 6.25 am and this chappie tries showing off his stunts - to be more precise - tries to run me over only to realise his bumper was inches from a bus! God bless State Transport. I did my bit of swearing at the Honda City and went my way.
I wasn't sure how the day was gonna be considering it started off so eventfully - nah im not superstitious. On my way to work, i got stuck in a signal - which was not working. The policeman decided to block our side of the traffic and allow the other side. 5 mins and the signal started working and bingo we were not the first to be released. Grrr another 3 mins of standing under the sun. Life could get no better. i had a free road, with not much traffic. Whizzed ahead.
I have this attraction to BMW's (probably coz i was so sure i would never own one), so when i see one, my head automatically turns, even a 180 degree if possible. Who cares if i crashed - I crashed while i looked at a BMW! Even on the way to the airport, i make it a point to strain my neck as much as possible for a glance at the mean machine. Not like Chennai is some village where people ride elephants to work - its just some kind of magnetic attraction.
Well back to my journey - I saw this super sexy black BMW cruising quite ahead of me. In a moment of madness one does not know what one does. I had this weird fantasy that i was racing with this car. A black Honda Dio vs a black BMW. I was riding at 60 kmph so was the car. In a couple of seconds i raced ahead and the BMW was left way behind. My heart leaped. I had raced ahead of a BMW! If you join in my celebration - stop reading here, for a bite of reality go further.
In reality, had the owner decided to actually drive it the way it should be driven, the impact of this car racing past me would be enough to have me sitting in Neel Metal Fanalica (version 2.0 of Onyx Kuppa thotti).
Still - i raced past a BMW!!!
