In Montana, I believe. I think that is what they changed it to when they put speed limits back in place because everyone was going 100+mph everywhere they went when they had no speed limit.

You do have 70mph speed limits on the interstates where you live, don't you? I thought that was pretty standard all over the country.

I wouldn't know, I never look at the speed limit signs.

[QUOTE=...Anyways, as i am travelling 155 for this short period of time. ...[/QUOTE]

Is a 325i really capable of 155???

If so, what could you get out of a 330i???

155

[lux.sh]

156.

[sdorn]

157

[shimshimhada]

200 +/-1

[lux.sh]

actually 330 - 325 = 5. so 160mph.
yeah, I didn't graduate middle school.

It's not the high speed you have to worry about,it's the sudden stop that's bad.

sorry but both e90's go 160 given it has a sport package...

technically they should stop at 155/250km .. but they do go to 157ish

The speed limit on the intestates in South Dakota is 75 but if you do 80 the Highway patrol looks the other way

... i used to speed a lot but i stopped after i got a ticket. I was just a stupid new driver then never realizing the dangers of speeding. I did 90mph+ with my mom's '98 S320. the CHP CHICK listed 87mph but i knew i did faster than that. but the fastest that i did was 100mph+ on my way home from San Francisco. I think it was at 5 freeway. I was driving a sienna that we rented for the trip. pretty stable enough for high speed straight run. (ironic how i could go faster in a sienna than an s320 huh?)

I'm still waiting for my 325i but i probably wont push the car to the limit when i get it. dont wanna pay for a ticket.

And BTW if i saw a police going lets say 10 over the limit which would be around 65mph...And i was traveling around 145-155 that would mean i am traveling 80-90 MPH faster than him, basically like a car (doing 80-90) flying by a person who is at a standstill....Now do you think he has enough time to even take down my plate? no, and if i saw one..... well, my judgement as we have discussed before isnt developed yet.....

You couldn't maintain 140mph+ speeds if he chased you. You can't outrun a radio. I passed a cop standing beside his car clocking people doing 95mph once, and he chased me down in about 1/2 mile.

this guys was modded. He didnt pull hard at all. I raced a stock one before from 70mph to 95-100 and we were pretty even.

have you seen that picture of the "julia tuttle" it has 2 exits one to a neighborhood and another to miami beach, i could EASILY picture myself going into a house driveway and cutting the lights before the cop comes within my vicinity--- picture an exit ramp. Then picture blocks of houses with dim lit streets within a half a block of that exit ramp. And there is no intersection to get to the houses...it is very dark in that section too because there is a boulevard of TALL willow trees... Dumb idea nonetheless...

In Hicktown, Arkansas, yes. In Atlanta GA, no.
Big difference between a small township and a metropolitan area. Going 140 on back roads in the fist place is extremely dangerous in the first place if you don’t know the roads. If the county only has 1 cop car the chance of being chased are marginal at best.

But a BMW with out of state plates or a BMW would stick out like a sore thumb in the first place in small towns.

Plus, if you lose control of your car at 155 MPH, you have perhaps a 98% chance of death. If you do survive, you'll most likely be a vegetable or paraplegic. And at 3:30 AM after you've been up for many hours and are likely tired, do you think you have the best control of your faculties?

i think its different in every state

Here we go again! I suggest that the Administrators remove threads like this that advocate lawlessness and endangerment of others.

Yeah but you're not travelling faster than his radio call and there isn't that many JB BMW doing 145 on a specific strech of highway.

P.S. If you end up on TV like that guy in TX Jatt Mann,please make sure your E90 looks good,JB is hard to keep clean.
