Arrow Driving the M6 GC at Top Speed - AUTOBAHN

Here is a little extra video I just posted on my car channel of me driving on our beautiful Autobahn in the BMW M6 Gran Coupé with M Drivers Package. Enjoy and please subscribe for more!

Oh and don't rant about how dangerous it is to drive that fast...

It is not dangerous to drive at those speeds when it is done in the correct vehicle (M6 GC, CHECK), on the right roads (Unrestricted Autobahn, CHECK), with properly trained drivers (in Germany, CHECK).

I really wish we had these items here in the US.

nice!...tho in Miami we have the "PalmettoBahn" lol j/k.. The one thing you can appreciate on this video is how well aware and skilled pretty much everybody else on the road is that they can either see you flashing your lights or are just constantly checking their mirrors in order to move out the way and yield to the faster car, wish people drove like that here but that will never happen

Ya that's possible, but only at night though. In the GT3 I cruised at 330 kmh for quite a while!

Unfortunately not at that time no. But it must be around 305 km/h.

lol in the US, when you see a fast car coming up on the fast lane, it's common courtesy to block the car and slow it down... it's all related to entitlement
sometimes you get to see three of these assholes pacing together on a three lane highway to create a wall for everyone behind them

I have the same speed on tacho, at GPS it is 303, or 305, depends on tyre pressure.

Absolutely agree with what you're saying. People here just don't get the proper drivers education... nor the proper k-12 education to learn such things as courtesy and looking out for others.
