Celebration ride - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

To celebrate a fantastic Monday Night Football victory for The Baltimore Ravens, I had the opportunity to let loose on the way home at 3am with no traffic on a rural highway. Got her upto 150 mph, felt great and so under control. If the speedo had not read 150 I would have thought I was doing only 100. I Love this car!
This was my first time I was able to get to that speed since I took delivery (she has 3600 miles). You don't really appreciate this car till you drive it hard. I just wish I had more opportunity to do this type of driving. It would make those $1k monthly payments more worthwhile.

If you get pulled over for 150mph in a 65mph at 03:00, tell the officer what you told us. Give your keys to him and tell him to check it out for himself. If he comes back from the drive without a massive grin on his face, you're getting one helluva ticket my friend.

Come to NY and hang with the Long Island crew...
then you'll really get to appreciate your car.
Even if you don''t want to, you're going to be so tempted to drive it hard. Let's just say we almost broke the sound barrier..right Alfy?
