I had a German speced BWM 635 IM that was capable of 180+ MPH straight off the showroom floor. Loved that car and would often put it on cruise control at 120 MPH to drive from Heidelberg to Munich. Even at that speed I'd get the flashing lights from behind only to move to the right to get passed by a Volkswagen Golf. Unfortunately I had to leave the car in Germany when we came back to the US. Back then bringing it into line with US safety and emissions requirements was difficult and expensive. Luckily I actually sold the car to another American for what I'd paid for it two years earlier.
