My first bimmer was a 1989 325i, and with 196,000 miles it would hit 120mph without any trouble, but I did get it to about 127-28 on a toll road one time. The 1997 M3 I just bought hits 140 easy, but I have trouble getting it past that only due to the fact that I run out of road. (slow drivers in packs, you know what I mean?)

Of course the following is fictional...

Last week took the newly broken in M3 up to 125 on a deserted road. It was still in 4th gear. After I slowed down, 1 minute later my radar detector goes: "brapppp brapppp". Boy was I lucky [shake]

I was driving my Mom's Saturn in Long Island last night...I look up in my rear view mirror and beautiful Gray E46 M3 approaches and passes me, the guy had to be doing at least 120-140mph, it made my Mom's little car shake and vibrate. I love my 92 Bimmer but I'm going to get me a M3 one day.

I got 260 km passing some cars the other day, single lanes. and i kinda got picked up by the police for doing that, we are only meant to do 100 here, so id probably get in a bit of trouble. Lucky he cudnt quite catch up in time i guess! But i often get it going over 200km or 120mph, its got some mods i guess, but theres lots of little hoodrats in mitsy evos and STIs to race i guess.

And i guess if you are doing cycle speeds as well, i got over 120 km, nt sure what that is in miles, but thats the speed limit of my computer so im not sure how fast i was going, and it didnt feel the best i guess. the bike i was using for that was a road bike, a giant carbon one, with record, like that makes ne difference!
