Please i urge you people not to present false information on this board such as BMW's can exceeds speeds of 160 and better because some people on this board will beleive and will actually try and do it on a public street ending up killing someone or themselves. Lets leave these speeds to the professionals that race on the tracks. Lets be the fans and not the wannabe racers who will endup killing someone or themselves. I race my car but on a track not on a city street. Trust me i really dont want to end up getting hurt or my family getting hurt on the streets just because an M5 has aurodynamics and 400 hp. Because if you crash my family and you get lucky and live you will be sorry you ever lived so please obey traffic laws and wear your seat belts. Dont end up like the guy in the Ferrari crash. Bob
