yeah as somebody mentioned the revs are pretty high if in 6th gear. I do not have revs over 5000 while doing 250km/h.
I think it is the difference between the new 3.0i (258h) and old 3.0i (232)engine. I saw once a video of the speedometer of the new 330i with the new magnesium engine and really the revs are much higher. Even the max revs available to use until the steptronic shifts are a little higher with the new engine, I think it is like 500 revs more.
You are just another confirmation of this

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
no offence but 530i OLDER e60 my dad's driver did 260km/h easily, so it is not 250. Speeding over 200-220 is safer when there is of course few car, or better nobody, once reached 240km/h with my RS Skoda, no tuning that was fun!

Mr Djurg?rden!
Ser riktigt bra ut!
What were you doing in Germany?? Business trip or just vacation ? Is your car really in 6 th gear ??
I do only have a picture of mine @ 190 km/h and it only revs 2600 RPM's - but hey it's a diesel!
Attachment 12408
I can confirm that the E60 drives like a dream at those speeds!
I did a testdrive in a Golf V GTI this week, and damn it's was fun even at 210 km/h, but the handling at high speed was better in our E60

Hi
Thanks. Just vacation for me. I think it's in 5th gear. As far as I'm concerned, all the "normal" BMW:s (does not includ the M5) has its top speed on the 5th gear. The E60 is just fabulous to drive at those speeds. I'm glad you guys like the pics
