I was going 80 one night on a road that I new with NO ONE else on the road.........except a cop. 
Can you believe that? I am trying to speed responsibly (Excuse my while I put on my flamesuit) and then one car on the road is a cop.
Oh well, lesson learned

Hmmmm. "Speed responsibly". Would that be considered an oxymoron?

If not for him telling us how old he was, we would never know.

On a serious note, though; 80 it's really not speeding when done with an E60. 80 in a Smartcar may be pushing, but 80 in an E60 is merely cruising.

considering the stuff i did in my cars when i was 16, this kid is a saint! I commend krozi. If not for him telling us how old he was, we would never know.
These wet roads and empty parking lots are tempting though
J/K....maybe.

I admit I have driven at speeds I shouldn't have on highways. ALWAYS with zero traffic and ALWAYS with perfect visibility and no chance for cars entering the highway.
Mosty I drive at high speeds on track. The 550i handles 135 mph with ease lap after lap at VIR. There's just not enough room to go much faster. Because of the track sessions, I also have learned how to handle the car at high speeds, even with DSC off. The braking as well. The 550i stops surprisingly quick from 120+ mph but you still cover a lot of distance and have to keep that in mind.
