Or maybe the upper revs.  You'll never out-grunt
a Chebby short block.  A stoplight is his territory,
but it's likely all he can do.

Instead, why not improve your performance in the areas
where BMWs already shine?  Go to some driving schools
on a road track and learn technique, smoothness, the 
line, good stuff like that.  Sure, any Chebby driver
can upshift - but can he downshift without spinning
off the curve in TTO?

Next time you duel, make sure you get to choose the weapon.
Lead him into the twisties :-)
