Andy - you drive just like my wife! (no, not the speed, the driving on an empty tank.)

Great videos!

Either the 545i has a hell of a motor or the 6pd manual, SMG, or steptronic is a hell of a tranny or both!

Conditions:

- 20 degrees centigrade ( 68F )
- A4 autobahn near Aachen
- medium traffic....couldn't get a 0-260 time in. Next time.
- 2 runs 0-100 ( 0-62mph ) - 2nd run was better.
- 1 high speed run


Conclusion : too easy....get the Vmax speed restriction lifted?

Enjoy!!

If I may?.... Not parked - slower traffic! Looks parked when you are going 160 doesn't it?

impressive indeed sounds like!

I would really LOVE to see your attached videos, but for some reason can't!

Is this on Quicktime application? What do I need to do view your superb runs?? I tried clicking on the attached and system comes back with a graphical image of 'broken' tape run.

Any advice or assistance by anyone is much appreciated!

That horrible whistle! Atleast you got it at 140mph. The day after Munich delivery, my winshield would whistle at 120mph. Had them fix it in Rome. That left me with buffeting at 60mph. They fixed it at US redelivery the chrome A pillar molding. Now the buffeting is back. No whistle all the way to 145mph, thats as fast as I have gone.
