I would like to hear from Germans who have the autobahn. The delta is huge on the unlimited stretches. Of course they have much stricter drivers license requirements because it's not treated as a right.
I'm on the edge of my seat for "the last word."

Speed Channel did a thing last weekend on the new M cars. Hans Stuck (the semi-god that he is) himself drove the M6 while the journalist had the Z4M roadster.

Hans cranked that baby up to an indicated 197 on the headsup display and I gotta say ... cars flew out of his way ... very courteous ... until he hit heavy traffic and had to slow down. BTW, the Z4M roadster was left far in the dust. I guess an extra $50K does that.

The journalist was upset that BMW limits their cars to 155 MPH in the US ... Hans just smiled However, in the mountain twisties, Hans could not lose the Z4M.
