I've had the needle resting on 160mph, in the UK (private test track of course)

147 mph during ED was my peak. I have not gotten to within 20 miles of that in the states.
In the 130's it was easy and felt really good. Past 140, it was a little light in the front and you could feel that you were pushing a lot of air from the sounds around the side mirrors, but otherwise, rock solid.

Hey!! 530iii Actually, I was doing 155MPH and had to reach for the camera. While trying to hold the camera in one hand steady and steer w/ the other hand.
I am not saying it was hard, but you should definitely give it a try and then tell me how it went
cheers,![Twoup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/twoup.gif)

Caravans are lifestyle for many a Dutch family. And I do agree that 99% of them should not be allowed on the Autobahn! They definately are a great nuisance.
Maybe I could show them how to do it..272hp should be enough to maintain some decent cruising speeds!
I did 250 yet, and there was more to come (without caravan)
In the 70's we had a caravan driving school?
Kidding, these were caravan races. Very hilarious?![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)

I probably shouldn't have drive this fast while I was there, but here's the picture to prove it... I probably damaged my new car
oops!
