Even on the autobahn I've not been found wanting at 230-250kph (140-150mph). Europe is different to NA, we even like our cars coloured grey without chrome!

Do you find the M50d feels a bit stressed? I prefer the feel of the 30d and 35d over the M50d engine - although I've only driven the N57 triple turbo not the B57 quad turbo.
I personally wish they had kept the V8 diesel and I also wonder if it might be harder for them to meet emissions making so much power from only 3 litres, it might prove to be easier to go back to a 4.0 to 4.5l V8 and make less power per litre to improve emissions.
