Longest period of time over 100mph - BMW Forum

L337E46 · 07-23-2003, 12:20 AM

Long story short... I was cruising @ over 100-135mph on I-5 today coming from Redding going to Sacramento Before the V1/your ghetto radar detector went off...

Did 100+ for a good hour and a half (V1 equipped of course... saved my ass 6 times)

Question is what's the longest window of time you have had going over 100MPH+

20 minutes or so... I really don't like staying over 100 for long cuz I use my good ol trusty eyes...

about 30 seconds, then i get scared of getting a ticket.

what's your gas mileage like holding over 100mph for that long?

maybe 30 seconds, then the road ran out.

where i live if you go 100+ for too long in any direction, you will end up in the pacific ocean.

Nice Signature Asio.
I've done 90-100 for 45 minutes at a time driving back from Dallas on several occasions. Most recently in the Sequoia last week.

so true...lol

my longest would have to be about 15 minutes at 125mph

my gas mileage at 125mph holds at 20mpg

danm all you guys are nuts.... 100 is not a big deal but once I get around 115 i get scared....

lets say 2 minutes above 115 non stop !

woobiee · 07-24-2003, 01:47 AM

yea i got scared doing 118 at 3800-4500rpm in 5th gear in ohio for about a min, saw a trooper going on the opposite direction so i slowed down, he turned around and got me at 77 in a 55. good thing it was just a ticket, nothing more. havent gone above 110 ever since.

comin home from prom this year ( coming home i went south instead of north accidently and took me 30 miles out because i wasnt paying attention) it was 3 in the morning and i maxed out the e30 at 138 for a good 10 minutes. I stopped when i saw another car but i think i stayed around 100 for the rest of the trip

i was on my way down to florida from north carolina. this dude comes whipping by me in a jetta so i catch up and we did 105 for about 100 miles through SC. i stopped to get gas cause it is sucky at that speed. little do you know he was pulled over. yikes.

Going down I-5 racing a MR2 turbo@ 2-3am....going 135mph roughly 10-12mins got scared....slowed down...

Furious · 08-08-2003, 04:53 PM

really late for work a few weekends ago after a night of drinking. needless my car fluxuated between speeds of 180kms to 240kms, i think i was doing 240kms for a good 2 mintues, (which isnt good for the car) i did an oil change that night. i got from home to work which usually takes an hour and 15-30 minutes , in 34 minutes.
