My Ride: 535d (4/05) M Sport, Carbon black, Black dakota leather, Sport seats, Xenon, Navi prof, Hi-fi pack, AS, BT, PDC, Sunroof
I was gunning down in my girlfriend's C2 (not really) and this thing overtook me. Quite a sight in the rear view mirror, not very big on noise, some turbo whistle. I should have dropped a few cogs...

You know a car is fast when it comes equipped with a rear spoiler for slowing the car down. Other vehicles that use this? Well, there's the F15, F18, F22....

Yep - it is variable pitch and is deployed as an air brake.
Would be nice to see in how many kms a car stops from top speed only by the braking of the wing.
Now a parachute would be smth different
Like on those dragsters.
