And that's what kills me every day. Not being able to drive the car to it's full potential 
Why not take it on a track on a track day? Just a thought

Just a quick snap of my 520d MSport on the autobahn! Not too bad for a 2.0ltr Diesel.
It's a great little engine, isn't it.But it should be a bit faster than that.
Your car is a new one with under 20 K km's on it?
Only after some 20-30 K km's the engine is "broken in".
The max + 177 hp should come at 4000 rpm, so the
max top speed should be at some 4050 - 4100 rpm in 6th gear.
You are at "only" some 3950 rpm in the pic.
