My Ride: Silver/Grey E60
Talking

Sup everyone. Last night on the way home from work I was on a new freeway where I was able to get to 142 mph. Thats the fastest I've taken my E60 since I got her 4 months ago. It got me wondering how fast others have gone... Im sure way past 142.

Got up to 150 on the 101 in cal- STUPID in retrospect. Not sure what I was thinking. Could have been in jail but man it was fun. Since then I have had brief sprints to near a 100 but it happens so darn easily in these cars its tough!

Agreed. These cars scoot past 100 too easily. That's both good and bad! I was passing a slow moving line of traffic on the Interstate and hit 105 before I knew what had happened.

150 along with an S500 with no traffic on the 73. stupid, but it handled very well.

All the way to 155. Bounced her off the electronic limiter a couple of times. Scary but fun!

155 on US 20/26 here in Idaho. Complete control, car felt solid, and then got passed by a Ducatti Monster motorcycle. Taken the 993 on the same stretch of road to 194 indicated, with the GPS reading 198. I hope the new 997 gets me into the 200 club.

I took the 535d to 240 and have taken the 550i to 250 multiple times.
