What's the Fastest You've Gone in Your BMW?

[Bomb617]

160mph in my M3 ED this April at the autobahn just outside Berlin

[lsmkr01]

158 verified (162ish on speedo) in 5th and just about to get to 7k rpm. Car was pulling hard still. This was all done in Mexico of course :-)

[FDM68]

162 Mph on the GPS northbound on A62...little downhill grade to take it above the limiter. I miss Germany...just sayin

[SES_D]

25mph

[1fastdoc]

140 in the M3, smooth and stable.

140 in my 88 Mustang 5.0. Scary as hell. Hit a small dip in the highway and the whole car slid a lane to the right.

[M2_MEDUSA]

162mph bout 280 km/h in my n26 428i

BAN

for reviving wreckless thread from past.

[stylinexpat]

About 170+MPH in the M3 and in the old Supercharged 330 ZHP.

[Soul_Glo]

143 mph
Too much wind noise from F32 windows above 120 mph

[MKSixer]

160 in the i8.

178 in the M6 with a gear left. Lifted because the road was too harsh. My friend in the Gallardo Superleggera his 196, GPS verified.

[KennySRFElite]

X6 50i, 140mph on the Brainerd International Racetrack.

Whats 160 like in an i8? is the engine wailing ? is the car very stable or distinctly different form a sedan at the same speed?

Very stable. Growling engine and little wind noise. Extremely stable but I have 255 section front tires and 275 section rear tires. Very different from the M6 which is wailing like a banshee. The chief difference I see in the two is that the M6 has a certain joy in going fast and always wants more while the i8 always feels that it needs to be urged on a bit.

170+ish mph in my e34 M5 19 years ago but don't tell anyone

[JLStock]

New owner and no race experience. How were the RPM’s dropping and climb again while you were driving at over 160? Were you raving that high in 6th, switch to 7th then 8th at that high of a speed? I didn’t know it was possible of car had that capability. WOW

125 sustained in x5d, 142 GPS in both e46 and e90 m3 on track, lap after lap.

I vote a perpetual Darwin award for all who feel the need to try to photograph themselves while at speed. Even while sitting on the dyno rollers, it really sets up a bad example.....

[BimmerAg]

130 on the back straight at CoTA

[Lowflight]

148 mph after getting my H&R Springs. Had a local cop in the car with me.

Felt like 80 mph. Did 167mph in my Dad's ZR-1 years ago...that felt like all 167 lol
