BMW > TL in Germany.... 
Yeah its actually against the law in Germany to pass on the right. You can get ticketed if you run out of gas too. You pass then get back in the right lane. Unless you're doing warp nine like Mr Fourplay.
But there isnt much left of the autobahn thats no restrictions.
I envy you, to be back on the autobahn would be a great thing. You're gonna hate coming back...

I try not to sustain it too much though, just get my fix and slow it down to 120 or so, I just dont want to be unnecesarily wasting gas and running my engine so fast for too long.
LOL "Slow it down to 120", must be nice. I am soo jealous!

You are using some high grade synthetic oil, right? Especially driving that fast good oil will help it protect..
and Oh yeah... take your pics in some nice area in Germany, like in front of the castle! lol!! That would be absolutely awesome.

And yeah, I know that European drivers are smart. A lot of Americans here (especially women) think the inside lane in the highway is the slow lane, not a passing lane. They think backwards. Also they think they are the president or something. They drive in the inside lane cruising at low speed and blocking the lane. I have gone 130mph with my infiniti g20 a couple of times in the past, but in an open freeway with very few cars around. I didn't have any other chance to go fast again.

I just read something on the web, that the Germans want to put a speed limit on the Autobahn.
When I first saw your post, I quickly want to see the videos. I read too fast, you said don't make fun of your accent. I read that as accident. Thank God that wasn't the case.

As a matter of fact I was going to keep it a secret but since you asked I am going to take the TL on the nurburgring. It costs 65 euros (about 80 bucks) for 4 laps. I am stoked.
I know you can also rent high-end cars for a day at the track.

I didn't know that you're in to bikes too. My poor VTR-1000 hasn't seen many miles since I got my type S. I've even considered selling it because riding in the states isn't as fun as it was in Italy.

Lets see I have been to Milan, Pisa, Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Vatican city, Republic of san marino, venice, and vicenza and everywhere inbetween. Loved Milan the most though cause of the Church there, The Duomo.

yea Milan is an awesome city and The Duomo is one of the neatest churches in all of Europe. Be careful in Milan they drive crazy on those little streets.

It's one thing to drive at 150 mph, another to be doing it one handed while futzing with a camera. If you have a blowout, or if some other car encounters a malfunction, or a deer wanders across the autobahn, you are toast. At 150 mph, the tires are hot, pressures are high, and any manufacturing defect in those tires is going to be amplified.
Anyway, enjoy yourself, and stay safe. Sign up for the track!

to respond to the two previous posts you guys are both right. I have seen several helicopters on the bahn picking people up. Yeah most accidents at that rate of speed are fatal. No they wont pull you over for unsafe speeds. They mght however pull me over if they see my witha camera in my hand lol. Or if I am following too close behind someone, passing on the right.. etc etc. Incorrect on the speed thing though. I have flown by polizie doing 240k and never had an issue. Luckily the TL-S handles excellent at such speeds especially with my EDFC set on 0. I have assessed my own personal risks and determined that driving that fast is perfectly acceptable in "certain" areas of the bahn. I dont just do that everywhere. Thanks for looking out though .

That video was banging. I wish I could go bac to Germany just to drive my TLS on the Autobahn I used to travel on A7 I was stationed in Schweinfurt 97-99. Over there driving is taken seriously not like here. Cars are more fun to drive over. Next time take it through the twists and turn going through the Black Forest.
