My Ride: On Order, due in May - 2007MY 530D SE, Silver Grey, Black Dakota, Auto, Brushed aluminium shadowline,sports seats / wheel, hi fi speakers, mats, space saver wheel and a few more bits
I have been doing very few miles since getting the E60 and do not get over 30mph most days :thumbsdown: but had a chance today to see how it compares with another similar (lesser) exec on an open 2 lane dual carriageway (UK). Following a Jaguar X Type 2.5D at 90 - 100mph. It moved over and started trying to pull away so I hit the pedal at 90 and took off hitting 140 in no time 
scary but not dangerous, nothing else about. With a re-map giving me 271hp & 600NM (M5 510NM). I really felt the amazing force of such a great engine. Even quiet too - very happy until I get a speeding ticket.
Will not make a habit of this as I would have been very annoyed watching an E60 go flying past with such ease. Must take it easy as only have 3K on the clock

My Ride: E61 535d Apr 05. UK spec + Media Pack, Luxury Pack & Visibility Pack
That's unfair. Poor kitty only has 2.5 l and no remap 
I know exactly what you mean by "scary". I still haven't got used to the remapped 535 engine, and the other day I just pushed it a little too much. I think the guy in the Clio in front of me who was doing 60 or so nearly had a heart attack when these lights jumped on him from nowhere (black car at night, emerging from a side road) and overtook him like a flash. Shame I forgot the bend after that is rather closer when you are doing 100 than when you are doing the usual 60...
Oh well, tested the road holding ability - better than my memory. The only thing that hit me - later, once she recovered - was the wife.

So you finally had chance to blow Jag away did you. Get a life. You do other BMW owners a disservice Perhaps you could also get some fluffy dice to hang from your interior mirror.
