This is from a video recorded with digital camera Fuji yesterday evening.
I passed a nice silver BMW 3 cabrio on my way, driving 160-170 Km/h.

Try bouncing off the electronic limiter at 240-ish km/h!! Thats bloody marvellous :D :D!! The car was planted on the road, and the only wind noise was from the top of the driver's door...

Yeah, I posted this photos just because of nice cabrio that I passed on my way, but I was at 180 Km/h last week at 4500 RPM (is that OK?). Car seems to have enough power to go to 200-220 Km/h, but I'm not sure I want to go that far, 'cause car is 1992. and I just bought it.
I'll be ready to go over 200 Km/h when I'm sure everything is working fine on car, for mine and safety of all the others on the road.

For sure. Gotta make safety paramount when attempting stupid speeds like that!! :D
No one was around when I 'clocked' mine, and once (or twice) is enough!!

Too bad more drivers don't think the same way :)

Just for comparison, my EAT chipped 525i has a top speed of about 250 km/h by the clock - I guess it's around 235-240 km/h real speed. That's at 6700 rpm and with a fuel consumption of 25 l/100 km. You don't want to drive at that speed the whole time! :)
