Shocking. :o The driver wasn't worried about losing the licence.

Also, the car did just over 1k miles. It shouldn't have been driven like that :thumbsdown: . The owner's manual says the driver must not exceed the engine speed of 4,500 rpm or a road speed of 100 mph for the first 1,200 miles.
Current BMW: 640d Gran Coupe M Sport (F06), 118d SE (F20).
Previous BMW: Z4 sDrive23i M Sport (E89), 318i Sport (F30), 120d SE (F20), Z4 2.5i Sport Roadster (E85), 523i Sport (E60), 323Ci (E46), 523i SE (E39), 318i (E36).

Outrageous!!! I wouldn't mind betting that the Police will be interested in that, horrifically reckless. Plus he had the nerve to mention 'idiots pulling out' what about the idiot doing 145mph?

:o I might have a little blast now and again but certainly nowhere near those speeds and with traffic around. Police need to find him and get him off the road. Wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't even his car.
