What's the highest speed you reached with your e60? (please specify if in miles or km)
For legal purposes, I will just say I know someone that did 148mph

Funny someone would post this thread today.

I got a speeding ticket last night doing 200kph in an 80kph zone on a secluded road.
I told the cop I had just purchased the car and was just seeing what it could do.
He let me off with a $351.00 fine instead of the mandatory court appearance and minimum $1500 fine.

But I've had it up to 240kph before.
