Dear All,
Was on my way into town today (via the motorway) and took this picture.
Damn....imagine if I'd had a blow-out?
...and yes, I did buy some petrol whilst in town, the lowest I've had the gauge to is "---" which is pretty damn low...
Would this be a reasonably accurate reading? I have an M5 3.91 diff which might mean its not....
What have you had outta your beast?
Kind regards

Damn, yeah yeah I know I know - Thank GOD I have only once run outta gas - AND it was in a Mini (so not too bad to push) - I don't fancy pushing the bimmer on my own....
140 is not bad, when I got this car I had a race with my mate (who had taken me to pick it up) - he has a 2006 Subaru Impreza 2.5 Turbo - he thought "yeah I'll kick yo' ass" - unfortunately - his car is limited to 141mph - at 150 - I was pulling away!!! - man was he pissed - especially as his car cost like £30,000 and the Zimmer cost less than a grand!
Most people freak out at more than 130 - thank GOD my missus wasn't in the car with me.....

So let me understand this at 160+ you biggest concern is taking a picture ( a very clear one at that) of your speedo as proof? I don't even know where to start.....I guess I’m getting old. Be safe out there buddy

With 3.91 gears and 225/60 x 15"tires I figure 6400rpm ~ 125mph
Having attended (infrequently) public school I stand to be corrected though.
An M30 powered E32 of long ago once attained an indicated 155 mph, and promptly required a reseal job as the crankcase pressure became excessive at the sustained high revs.
