Sorry I am not giving you much warning, but this was a great show, all about M cars.

starts in 15 minutes, if you have SPEED, it is a must see.

They just took 2 M6 on the autobahn... showing the acceleration on the windscreen display... 160, 170, 180, 190, 195, then a car pulls in front of them...

Easy 200 mph in that car, very impressive.
NOTE: US models are limited to 155mph:(

Not if you re-chip them, which is actually not illegal.

Actually they are limited to 155mph in Germany and Europe, it is sort of a gentlemans agreement, watch top gear, the best car reviewing show ever.

The cars they were driving were clearly doing just under 200mph, in Europe.
I saw what I saw!
BTW, I have all the episodes of Top Gear downloaded, Fifth Gear too.

Watch the show on Speed and you'll see, no 155 mph limit.
It re-airs:
