I have had my 545i for I think 4 months now and about a Month after I got the car I got a ticket for 80 in a 45. Since then I haven't sped at all but it is tearing me apart the temptation is so great. There are times I just want to slam it into third and just take off. All this traffic is so annoying because you never get to be on an open road. It's always crowded with idiot drivers. It almost depressing having all that power under your foot and not being able to use it.
Do you guys feel the same?

What good is million dollars that you cannot spend? What good is a fast car that you cannot drive... The urge is in there because it is possible... We know,.........we know
