Thanks for your warm welcome
Quite frankly, my wife and I were too busy holding on to dear life and didn't even gave it a second try.? But we did noticed that the needle ticked around 160 or so for a short while.? I just want to know that it could realllllllly do it......? and now happy and proudly placed a deposit on the upcoming M5.....

Man I wish it is half as good as it is in Europe in the US... I swear people CANNOT drive in the states... maybe 0.1% can drive properly and thats it.

You are absolutely right, people in the states are simply inconsiderate. When I arrived in Munich, I asked my driver what is the most important rule of the road in Germany.... he told me.... ONLY PASS ON THE LEFT LANE, DO NOT PASS ON THE RIGHT!!!. and it's amazing that this simple fact is what set them apart from us road hugging zombies...

AND:

NO right turns on RED!

That's inportant if you want to stay out of trouble and ticktes.


BTW, traffic fines are doubled for non German residents and need to be paid cash on the spot.

That's the same info I have.

The M5 and the M6 will not be faster, they just get you faster to the same speed. Both will have speed limiters at 155 mph.

But where else can you push that limit and work out some sweaty palms, plus I loved those castles out there.
