Really? what rather than letting go on all day

Probably stole it or something. 140mph would be seen as slow in some parts of Germany.

Not to mention that these things often involve other brands.

A Surrey Police spokesperson said: "A silver BMW coupe had been pursued by officers in both Thames Valley and the Metropolitan Police areas in connection with criminal offences, when it entered Surrey on the M25 around 2:40am.

Kev, dont lie sounds just like your car.

how fast do you think a remapped 335i/d would max out Dave? 180 mph? easy peasy?

Think a DMS mapped 535d pulled 175mph at Nardo in Italy a few years back. They chose a 5 as it is more aerodynamic than the 3 series.

I think de-limited & re-mapped 335i/d should pull 170mph yeah.

Sometimes they do back off.

There was a bellend who lived a couple of door away from me at Uni and the Police asked me questions about him once. Apparently he started driving on the wrong side of the road and they halted the pursuit. I guess they didn't have helicopter back up.
