Again, good highways.240kph on an E46.. now my 'friend' hasn't touched that ... simply there isn't a road in Klang Valley straight and EMPTY enough to do it .. and with enough running space <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> maybe he can try again on a nice quiet Sunday...Stock E46 on 240km/h : I pretty sure it is designed to handle that as stock... just less stable and less able to handle corners, lane changes.  Firmer shocks and wider tires may help.  But my 'friend' has a bone stock E46.   I recall hitting the brakes hard from 200km/h on a larger Audi ... the whole car shuddered and twitched like it wanted to go into a spin.. not funny.</blockquote>
