I too had that need this weekend. But it was a black Z06 up my ass that caused it. Quite proud of the 5'er.
She pulled hard from 70 to 140, then, ran out of beans. The Z06 pulled alongside, gabbed another gear,
then continued on.
Simple rocket science: 8 slugs pumping 7 litres of mixture at 11:1 compression=see ya later!
But when he reached his destination...I'm sure he didn't pull a set of Pings out of his trunk. Or remove
the GRACO Snugfit (you know who you are) out of the back seat!
I'll be ok...just need a little space right now

That's it? You can do better than that. Don't be such a wuss.
As an FYI, the front starts to get a bit light.

Unfortunately, no current BMW that I know of can keep pace with a Z06, let alone a ZR1. Of course, we actually have respectable, comfy seats and decent interiors, neither of which the Vette has.
Corvette owners are all the same... "My car is faster and cheaper than yours"

My Ride: 2005 545i Sport Package Limo Tinted, Heads up display, Fully Loaded Minus Cold Weather Package and Rear window Sunshades.
And this picture just makes you wonder.... Is it just cliche to take a pic doing those speeds on an empty tank??? All our e60's are governed at 155MPH except for the M5 which is 168MPH right? with the ECU software (governor removed) I think we can do around 170MPH... and the m5 can do almost 200MPH right?
Either way it's not fast enough for me.

Not yet. Jail time for doing double the speed limit is a scary thought. At what speed does the governor kick in ?
545i gets to 180 with governor removed
With RPi Scoop, and RPi exhaust you might even get to 190mph? Probably not but I like to think so
