Nice review of a great family(..)car.
Reminds me of this lightblue M5 , the most 'famous' M5 in Dutch History
Bought and maintained at 'my' dealership this M5 was near the German border driving pretty fast(er than normal) when a Dutch undercover policecar with video equipment spotted it...
The M5 outran the Volvo easily(understatement) and at that time(about 15 years ago) 400BHP was really something(it still is more or less)
In the chasing police car:
160kmh=100mph
200kmh=125mph
240kmh=149mph
15y old vid:
The M5 escaped through the German border(we don't have actual borders in this part of EU) and they even weren't intercepted by collaborating German customs/police but were fined indirectly by licenceplate reg. numbers. The owner had to pay 7500,- Dutch Florins, which equals €3400,- but I can assure you, inflation being acounted for that meant '7k euros...'
A pretty expensive moment of fame for this M5
The truck he is passing in this still vid (white light blue stripes , that company is from my hometown lol, first time I see that)
Cheers
