The todays Paris was built, for the major part, in the XVII-XVIII century. Before you were a VILLAGE (your cathedral is poor indeed) .
Diesel is popular everywhere in Europe. In France just french cars are popular.

And obviously the French like French cars. It's kind of obvious. Do you deny that Italians prefer driving Fiats?
P.S. France has >60% diesel contribution, the highest in Europe.

And that's why I love Paris so much. All buildings are so impressive, there are so many really nice places with lots of atmosphere... I don't see why you're so sceptical.

Ok, let's get back to cars, E60s for example.

Hey, I remember yeah !
I found your 0-60 mph a bit too fast for a 545i.

There was no 0-60 in my video mate.
Your probably confusing it with something else were my car is present but posted by other people picked up from sources posted on this forum. I only remember your comment in my video was completely non constructive and slightly contemptuous. From what I see in those other videos your comments on those ones, are as well, unfortunately full of distrust and contempt:
"this is NOT a 545i"
"impossible"
"again, this is not a 545i - our 550i is faster and can't do this"
I don't wanna create any fuss here, it's just I'm used to opinions backed by some form of argument. The fact your parents own a 550i and you've howled it down the motorway doesn't mean your an expert. There are members here with stock 545's who have done 0-60 times you probably won't believe - but nevertheless have pulled it off.
on another note, wonderful car and wonderful fotos

That 0-60 is better than the 550i, that's why I couldn't believe that your 545 was stock.

Have you ever been to Paris? I don't think so.
Last time has been this summer, 2 months ago. By car (6 hrs

Here in the North we don't love citizens of Rome, but you need 4-5 days there: it's 8 Paris bigger, more than 300 churches, palaces, history etc. Plus very good food (not your frog and snails

Even London is way better than Paris.

Take a look at this vid (80 mb) :
http://www.justupit.com/get.php?id=383698c...faf510c4152da08
(never kickdown, the goal of the vid was to show how you can travel at 180-200 with the cruise on, not to reach 300 of speedometer)

We are not here to speak about Paris.
Besides, in our gastronomy, there is not only frogs and snails.
