I like how he releases his grip on the wheel at the lower speed. As if good grip would help at 315kph....lol. Anything goes wrong at that speed and you might as well be gripping your dick with one hand. At my age (60's) I don't have the nerve to go that fast anymore or ever. Maybe 30 years ago. Gripping my dick is still ok though.
Rule #1 on that part of the Autobahn......never meander, wander, drift, lolly gag, or sight see around in the left lane.

Easily the best cockpit/driver seating and position in BMW's entire line up. I was a huge skeptic when the 8er was first released but seat time has really made me appreciate how this interior checks so many boxes especially for a BMW.

It is remarkable that in today's world the car's design envelope can be legally tested to the fullest extent on public roads in Germany.

Might as well do it in a B8.

Thanks for sharing!

We really do need one. The number of left lane hogs is astounding here.

Not gonna happen anytime soon.

That will require a complete and radical revamp of the driver's ed system, not to mention road infrastructure improvements and change in attitude of the general population towards driving in general. And this is not even touching on the speed limit mantra and the powerful trucking lobby…

Remember also it takes 1 year on average to get issued a driver's license in Germany. This goes counter to our license drive mill mentality in this country.

I can't get over how locked-down and quiet it is at this speed. The team has done a fantastic job with aero, among other things.

I was nervous just watching it. Waiting for some goof to switch lanes when he hit 300.
