:.... Anyway, so I get pissed off and drop the car into neutral and start revving.

Do NOT Rev your engine with an automatic in
neutral as it damages it. This is a common
failure in many "Euro" automatic cars such as
BMW, Volvo, Saab, and Mercedes. I've seen it
happen first hand many times at my pal's high-end
used car lot. They're not designed for this
kind of abuse.

It's a good thing for you that you didn't race
that Z3 in the curves or you would have lost :-)
