What's the fastest you ever drove your E?

[yogi799]

I did 127mph.

 

[PuShAkOv]

I once did a 90!!

 

[Kirby]

Several hours at around 100 - 105 mph.

 

[MrElussive]

120mph once....my top speed is limited at 156mph and I am going to try to hit it once.

120mph once....my top speed is limited at 156mph and I am going to try to hit it once.

Good luck, but don't get yourself killed. I was freaking out at close to 130mph.... (especially since I still had to watch out for the cops). If I were you I'd have a friend with a walkie talkie in his car several miles infront of you letting you know the 'cop' situation. Then, you can focus thoroughly on your safety.

 

[MrElussive]

Good idea. I have to plan this whole thing out. I have my radar to watch my ass and I have to do it on a highway that has very little traffic and is very smooth and open...even little imperfections in the road will send my ass tumbling. And if some cop radars me at 156mph and tries to pull me over, I'm not stopping....
Especially since cop cars top out at a little less than 130mph and if I fly by at 156mph, there is no way he's getting my license plate. I don't know, though...I'll probably never develop the balls to go through with it and I don't care about going mad fast (I care more about accelerating to like 60-70 quickly and good handling and good braking), but at the same time when I went 120mph it didn't take very long.

 

[Unit74]

did 110 in my 330i and it was smooth as melted butter.


Did 160 on a bike a few years ago when I was into crotch rockets. It had more under the fairings, but my wrist could twist anymore.........When the dotted lines look completely solid, it's time to slow down, eh?

 

[mikev]

i've taken it up to 135Mph and i wouldn't say as smooth as melted butter more like a combination of a bulgarian airplane and a skitsofrenik rattle snake (wont be trying it again until the suspensions done ) at 120 i usually stop accelerating and it feals fine.

 

[PuShAkOv]

is it legal to go that fast in unmarked roads outside the city?

P.S.

All of you guys should be jailed for going this fast.

 

[Kirby]

Hey - Wait a minute! I was legal! I was on the Autobahn and Italian Autostrada!!!

 

[Unit74]

In cali, you might be going to jail. But if the CHP nails ya, it will be a fat ticket. Many times they just let you go with a cite since it's not an uncommon thing to catch a speeder going that fast.

Of course, if you actually pull over your asking for it. Thier cars top out at about 125 or so. I have a buddy in the CHP who gripes and complains about these "hot cars" he can't catch all the time on the 15 freeway. You can't out run the radio though.....

 

[andreyiv]

That is why you are never safe unless you know where every cop is at that moment. BTW I did 115mph two days ago, felt pretty smooth and the person on the passanger seat told that it felt like 85, that was before I revieled the actuall speed of course.

 

[kumafa124]

getting my 330ci in a few days ... well keep ya up to date on it

but i did around 120-130mph on my '99 acura tl at 4 in the morning ... got pulled over by the cops ... she was cool enough to put me down for 95 and not throw me in the cell. did around 120mph on my mom's 745Li, didn't even feel like it ... felt like going only 80

 

[codex57]

I've done 90 in my E46. Only about 85 on the E320. I need to get out more when there's less traffic. Since I'm in Socal, I guess that means 3:30am (I've been out at 4, there's traffic then too).

 

[Kirby]

Hehe - I was amazed at the amount traffic on the 405 at 2 AM a few years ago. It was as heavy as 5 PM rush hour traffic is around here!

 

[yogi799]

You California guys with your fast Bimmers.... Go anywhere EAST and the fear of cops will be the ONLY thing in your way...

 

[Wadula]

around 240 kph which equals 150 mph according to the speedo. the papers say the car goes 230 kph which is 144 mph. so it is possible...

 

[Militant-Grunt]

The fastest my father went in his 1995 Land rover was 96mph.. But back in Poland in 1993 when we had a 1992 Golf GTI turbo.. hehheheh 210km..

 

[Wadula]

1992 GTI did 210 even without a turbo. that was the golf II with 115 horses on really low weight

 

[Bobo]

85 MPH coming down the hill from Ventura on the 101 highway (Even thou I drove 30 mph going up the hill, but that's not question.) Pinto rocks, 150,000 miles on it. Not moving any more. Had some good memories. I could have gone faster, don't think my steering and tires can handle any more faster.

110 MPH on my 328IS.
