I just wounder if You are capable to take Your "rear" home, as I can, at a speed of 200 km/h ( aprox 130 mph) when one of mine fule pumps are broken or air flow meters, etc... ;-)

And You must have a very special M3 that is doing over 315 km/h (210 mph).

Torque about 370 Nm for the M3, for 850CSi torque is 550 Nm standard for my CSi I have about 600 Nm.
Top effect is about 380hp standard and for my 420hp.

4-wheel stering at higher speeds improves handling, standard on CSi, optional on other 8 series.

At higher speeds, like we say in Sweden, You are history.

You should be so lucky that I'm so far away :-)

850CSi forewer.
Mikael
