I once hit 240 kph (around 145 mph) in a 5-series BMW back in 2000.
Of course, I was working in Stuttgart Germany and did that on the Autobahn.

Those roads are built for it. They’re pretty safe drivers at the higher-than-here speeds, too. But when there’s an *accident* over there, it’s usually a big one with a lot of carnage, IIRC.

Hey, me too (but it was in a low-end Mercedes).
Two major differences:
1) The Autobahn is REALLY built well and those speeds seem like 70 on the interstate.
2) It was embarrassing that even at that speed I'd have soccer moms in diesel Peugots flying past me.
