It used to be assumed that the Autobahn was built in a manner which would allow it to be used as landing strips for the military. That wasn’t true but the American interstate highway system was built with that in mind.

Having driven the autobahn I can attest that 80 mph is the slow lane. 😆

What year of M3? If it’s the newer ones, then it isn’t the one with the V8.

Yup,but I must say that it was “frisky”! It's the type of car that would give an old geezer like me,a guy who sets the cruise control at 69 on I-95,a fatal stroke! And it almost did!
