My Ride: 2011 520dA coming up.
Is that test tracks name starting with an M and ending with a number 
Probably made under very nice conditions! I know from experience that flooring combined with a big grin on your face and holding a camera meanwhile makes you realize you did the right thing by buying the oil burner.
Is this taken in your 530d?
Makes me wonder because Skaffa had a picture of his 530d speedo flat out with more rpm!
I had mine flat out as well, doing 3600rpm like yours.
Maybe Skaffa forgot about his sixt gear or he was in DS or we have different gearings.

Is the final drive in the 530D 41mph per 1000rpm is what I think I read somewhere equating to 147.6mph. I thought they were booked at 151mph!!
Must make more effort next time
