Amassing wealth and conspicuous displays of same can't be popular is socialist Europe, where re-distribution of one's hard earned reward is popular. If I were you( and it would be great to be you simply because of the cars) I would wear these Bimmers as a badge of honor! Congratulations!

First long trip today. 540 km on highway at 130 km/h.

Cruisecontrol, P400 and D2 mode.

Result = 11.8 L/100km. Actually not bad

Congratulations Cidair! Awsome car...

I have not seen a E60 M5 IRL yet. I'm currently living in Denmark, after 7 years in Stockholm. And BMW E60 isn't a car we see much of :'( because of the taxes on cars in this fucking country.

Just love your videos! But but but! When you did the video on the swedish motorway, I saw you did 150-160 km/t, and the engine's RPM where as high as 3500 RPM in 7. Gear! I think that's too much.

In 200 km/t our 530dA is doing 2800 RPM i 6. gear.

Yes of course it's a diesel, but why 7 gear, when the car is doing 3500 rpm in 150-160 km/t ???
