anyhow seriously your bmw is meant for this speed, obviously not in the US but if you have a chance with noone around and your confident then no reason to see what your car can do.

how would i enjoy the car if i never got to experience the true potential of the car lol. safety first and i always keep that in mind .

and no i just wanted to ask people that hit 155+ to see what happen, plus it was 3.40am when i got home and wanted to post so don be bashin on me for speaking what i want to speak.

if you never go past even 100 i feel sorry for your 335 seriously.
I know right? Funny, the stuff people say on this forum.

I've never really felt that it's been safe to take the car beyond 140 around my area. There's a straightaway on this stretch of the highway with no entrance ramps that just goes and goes. It's elevated slightly and there's no places for speed traps. I'll just nip 135-140 really fast then slow down.

I don't see a reason to go 155. I've done it before and there's nothing rewarding about it. Everything just goes by faster and I feel a little nervous. It's not even that pleasing tbh.

Weird that a lot of the negative comments about speed are from California and Canada. I wonder if the anti-speeding campaigns are stronger there?

buck-10 was enough for me, as there were people around me: wife and son.

Attempt 1 should have been of the speedo, attempt 2 out the window so the rest of us who are too pussy to go faster than 110 can see
