So my buddy with an e500 was pumping some gas last night at 3 in the morning right before leaving to vegas with some friends for the christmas weekend. While pumping my tank I hear his tire pop. I end up driving my 535i that has a Vishnu Proceed Stage 2 with custom maps. We left that early to skip traffic but it became obvious after miles and miles of driving we were the only ones on the road. We waited for a straight away and I KNOW IT'S DANGEROUS, but we had to do it once. So here it is our 160 MPH run to Vegas.

Dude, did you see how low your mpg was? You need to slow down.

I've never taken my car above 130. I think I have a chip that prevents me from going over a certain amount. But I was being stupid and shouldn't go that fast anyways. =) Nice video.

Nice run, but low tire pressure + 160mph runs = another damn 8 hour tie-up on the 15. Please be safe but also cautious when warnings suggest you should be.

that sign might also be because he didn't have the tpms, but nice run, last weekend I did it too in my gf's bone stock 335, I did about 150 mph , and it was about 3 am too, I wanted to reach the 160 mark but, I kinda got scared because there might be some popos ahead of me.
I've only been able to get my 645 up to 145mph before hitting traffic on I-5
