My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i
2006 BMW X3
Nice video. I've run the 550i up to 135 mph on track. It had plenty left. Not too many cars in my run group were faster, aside from Porsche Turbos.
Re the 535d, top speed is all about HP versus drag, and proper gearing. Unless it has more than 325hp it will NOT be faster than the 545i. I'd guess the 545i tops our around 165mph and the 550i @ 170mph.

Thanks. I think most wouldn't believe how difficult it is to get a stable picture in a car. Especially one going very fast. You only have to go to youtube and search for Autobahn to find out just how bad they can be though.

are you on dope?I don't think I have reached the point where the limiter kicked yet... Honestly! I have been at 145ish I believe and had to slow down because, in Germany, when they hit the turn signal they change lanes. INSTANTLY! so, you will literally have to slow down really fast!
Good thing we are in BMW's lol
