>Still, if you did a European delivery, it'd probably be very possible to legally drive 100+ MPH on the Autobahn.

No, not 'probably very possible' - it's entirely legal to do 155mph+ on the Autobahn. There's one heading straight out of Munich. (most German cars except Porsche are limited to 155)

Still, running in the car first might be a good idea.



I guess the real question is if you can get a BMW to 100 MPH without ever going over 6K RPM. I'm guessing you can. =) I was certainly able to do it in a rental crackerbox Opel.


Yes you can. I have photographic evidence.


The other thing, in a car like a BMW, you hardly "feel" like you're doing that speed (well, we went up to 112mph / 180kph). In a more average car, you can do it as well, but you'll feel it shaking and you get a much stronger feeling of "wow I'm going really fast" (which is kinda unnerving IMO). It's a complete waste of gas either way, of course (110 kph generally gives the most kilometers for your litre, in most types of cars, I've found).
