E60 is so good to drive that it's possible to handle with only one hand and my digi camera can take several pictures with different setting with only one press of button. So you really don't have to take your eyes off the road.

I never go over 100 in the UK. Too many camera about. Luckily Germany is not so far to drive to.

Co-ordination or not, I don't think photos of the dash are a smart idea at 150 MPH. At that speed a lot can happen in the space of one photo.

My half-penny's worth and I had to put this in for the laugh..

Fiat Uno Turbo 127 mph indicated
(There was some mighty tall riding on that one and it was years ago when I was too young to be afraid.)

and being more realistic with a car capable of running at higher speeds

BMW 325i 140 mph

Well I guess I will add to the list:

My 1998 Jeep (110mph-limited)
My 2000 camaro SS (180mph-with a lot more in her)
My 2004 545i (153mph- done it atleast 6 times)

Once I get on a real track I will shoot for 200mph in my Camaro SS (790rwhp pump gas)

I took my car to Las Vegas from California over the week.
I must admit, I never enjoy the trip as much as I was in my car. I ride was so smooth, silent and quiet. I crack this baby up to 135mph and yet I don?t felt any resistance from the car at all. This car is unbelievable.?

What is the highest mph has any of you cranked it up to??

Do you have active steering? How stable was the car at that speed?
