Excellent video. Smooth & steady driving! I love Autobahn.

wow, what an amazing car! description says it all

the E31 is such a nice touring car...ive driven three of them. a Dinan 840, 6spd 850, and the CSi. the CSi is my favorite and i was impressed by how smoothly the V12 delivered its power and torque. wish i could afford to own one

Amazing. This person on video must be cruising with more than 200km/h with no sweat. The car must be a good car to enable both this speed and stability. Great video.

Ein herrlich entspannendes Video. Linke Spur, kaum Verkehr,volle Lotte. Einfach nur Geilo.

No other viedo I have seen online LOOKS this fast. This just conveys the speed so perfectly. I feel like I'm there. I wish eveyone mounted thier camera like this. This is how I am planning to do mine.

and the left stip is just clear. Paradise for cars like this one is

That is the 850CSI which has a 5.7 Liter V-12, well two I-6 motors mounted together. Produces about 380HP, 400lb/torque, six speed gearbox, weighs 4,100 pounds. Good car for solid runs on autobahn, mileage around 5-7 MPG at that speed.

this is one of the greatest cars ever made in my opinion!

I agree just what somebody else said that this is the most realistic and the best high-speed driving video that I've ever seen. You can almost feel that it's you're driving yourself. And this video shows that speed limits aren't overall necessary on highways. Live free and drive fast!

Thank you so much for posting this video! Excellent camera mounting; I really felt like I was in the car while watching this. Great job! Thanks again for posting this!

The people you passed probably dropped their jaws. Your steering wheel didn't shake one bit. Nice car, fun video! Thanks

freakin awesome speed, that must have been an awesome drive.

Oh My 2001 21 Years Ago!!! 2 Decades They are Still Some Highway Streches in Germany with no Speed Limit. Thankfully

And smallest mistake turns car into confetti.

Yeah its not for amateurs, the autobahn requires concentration from experienced drivers.

Such a straight 'bahn. Silly to limit it. The 850 was such a classic :)

wunderschönes video, dazu kann man geradezu entspannen!

Very enjoyable video. 75mph seems like a severe drop. I guess what amazes me most is than most people looked to be just crusing along slowly. What I liked the most is how people get the hell out of the left lane. You just don't see that very often here in the US.

the fastest way to get warsaw. V12 blitzkrieg.

heh ... that true... ;)

There can be speed limits at a Autobahn! "Certainly, speed limits do apply at junctions and other danger points, like sections under construction or in need of repair. Speed limits at non-construction sites are generally 100 km/h, 120 km/h, or sometimes even 130 km/h; construction sites have a usual speed limit of 80 km/h but may be as low as 60 km/h or even 40 km/h. Certain stretches have separate, and lower, speed limits used in cases of wet lanes. "

Jaaaaa geile strecke... war auf dieser strecke auch mal 1 stunde lang nie unter 200 Km/h unterwegs !!! Einfach nur geil....Gruss an den fahrer!!

A true speed lover.... to who ever that is.... nice!!!

excellent driver + excellent car + excellent roadway = excellent driving conditions / envy of the driver driving @

thank you for this video! Great car!

I also did this with my Corvette, but not for such a long distance!! omg this guy seriously has some balls

das ist wahre Power.. und das bei dem Alter.. das ist BMW!

That would be like a dream come true in the USA, an open road where there are no idiots in front of you holding up traffic and the road was actually of decent quality.

This baby is fast as hell! Great vid!

BMW 8 Series...Best car ever made in my opinion

perfect driving ! excellent driver !

I wish we had highways like this one where I live...

Excellent driving style

At the end... ''So what you've just seen can never been done again''. That's sad, because it waws excellent fast driving!

You are right. It is the Autobahn. Officially, we do not have a general speed limit, but the roads are getting more crowded every day so that the governments of the states installed speed limits on many autobahn sections.

wish we had roads like that here

nice car man wa a straight road i love the autobahn

beautiful.

what an incredible machine

25 miles in 9,5 minutes, that's an average of 254 km/h. Incredible.

The average speed for the period is an astonishing 157.89 mph

the a2 is passes my city too, u gotta remember that all the cars in the middle lane are fast as 150kmph at least.

Superb.

Indeed, my uncle's 135i with AC Schnitzer chip to 377 bhp also reaches 300 km/h exactly.

you are indeed living up to your name.. Because doing what you want, in city traffic, is not really safe.

850csi einfach nur geil!!!!

In 9.5 Minuten 25 Meilen (40,2336 km) ergibt eine Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit von 254 km/h. Das nenn ich mal flottes Reisen!

Next time I am in Germany I will buy you a beer man! that was simply awesome! last year when I was there I was able to get my 320d to 252 km/h hehe I need something faster for next time! ;)

Very true. I've caught myself entering a gas station at 80, where the speed limit was 30.

That Autobahn isn't generally restricted. If you look closer you'll see metal bridges over the road every couple of Km's. Those are computers that put up speed limits if there is heavy traffic or bad weather etc. If the traffic is like in the video, there is no limit.

which translates to around 159mph. That is one smooth fast car.

The worst thing about driving at high speeds for extended periods is when you have to stop for refuelling and you drive onto a garage forecourt at 100kmh because you dont realise how fast youre going.

In Germany, more than 57 percent of the motorways don't have any speed limit. Just an adviced speed limit, which is 130km/h (81mph). Moreover, I always take that motorway (A2) when I go from Paris (France) Warsaw (Poland). When I drive 200km/h (125mph), there are always people overtaking me.

Normally all JDM cars are limited to 180 km/h (110 mph), but a stock unlimited Skyline reaches 270 km/h easily. A stock BMW with the power to exceed 250 km/h is limited to 250, while the limiter can be removed without difficulty.

the 850 CSI has a 5.7l V12 the engine code is S70/1 it is the same engine that went into the McLaren F1 there they used the S70/2 627hp and S70/3 680hp... The S70/3 was first planed for a top version of the 8series the M8. The 850CSI is a low cost version of the planed M8 which was deleted for cost reasons.

Damn. That was really cool. I can't imagine going flat out like that for that long in an older car. It must have been tuned big time. Too bad about the speed limit. I wonder how much they enforce it.

The Autobahn 2 goes from Hannover to Berlin. He only recored a 25 miles section.

It was the day before this certain stretch of the A2 around Hanover was restricted (at least during rush hour). Can you see the electronic bridges over the 'bahn all 3 to 7 kilometres? They indicate the speed limit electronically, so that speed can be adjusted to the traffic density. I can't tell you if it is a fixed or flexible speed limit, but anyway, the traffic density makes speed above 140 km/h nearly impossible on normal days.

@waskii hey does poland have some kind of "autobahn" too??? because when I was there, I was going from Wroclaw to Katowice and I was going like 100kmh and there were many cars that passed me going at least 160kmh.

VERY nice video, that's the way I like it and it should be... Such road shouldn't have a speed limit! It just doesn't deserve it

great film - my loved

I was driving just behind him, he didn't let me to pass him and wave to the camera!:)

Beautiful video and skilled driver! I hope I can some day join the streets of Germany. Now still in Finnland (Finland). It is not very safe to drive without experience at 200-300km/h. Maybe I practice at 160-200 first when entering AutoBahn the first time...

One day I will have one of this!!!

Very nice auto!!!

These engines were so under stressed they could sit all day at those speeds without much issue

@metehan58 with a full tank of 90 liters, you can travel for 35 mins app. at a speed between 270-300 in a CSi

I was listening to trance music and watching this video, what a rush. Anyone know what stretch of the A2 this was in where there are no speed limits?

Super Vid.. Ein 8ter Bmw ist immernoch edwas bessonderes.

a good setting is some trance music in the background! :D

The initial problem why cargo transport was then put onto the road, was because trains could not go everywhere where trucks can go. Finally, you would still have to transport goods by truck from point A to B where the train cannot go. So, lastly we would not be able to get all of our trucks off the road, but perhaps the most of them. Extenting the railway system would also benefit normal ICE passengers because newer and better networks would be available to them.

how long u can drive with full of tank when average speed is between 200-250km ?

§ 7 Abs. 3c StVO lautet: „Sind außerhalb geschlossener Ortschaften für eine Richtung drei oder mehr Fahrstreifen mit Zeichen 340 gekennzeichnet, dürfen Kraftfahrzeuge abweichend von dem Gebot, möglichst weit rechts zu fahren, den mittleren Fahrstreifen dort durchgängig befahren, wo auch nur hin und wieder rechts davon ein Fahrzeug hält oder fährt.

I wanna meet this man and shake his hand. He is a true Petrolhead's Hero. Through a few free spirits like these the spirit of the automobile lives forever. It will never Die. Tree huggers, eco terrorists and road safety fascists will come and go, but the power of one man to take to the road in his automobile can never perish. I intend to own one of these cars eventually, and do exactly what has been shown here, wherever I can. Remember People, Power Is Life.

Autobahn driving as it's ment to be. Great video.

Wow! Great driving footage! What was the day and time while you recorded the video? I've never seen such an empty autobahn.

Gratulation an den Fahrer, der diesen Höllenritt offensichtlich überlebt hat! So viel Glück hat nicht jeder!Ich fahre auch gern mal schnell, ist aber lebensgefährlich, man bedenke den Bremsweg bei 200 oder mehr, na, wer weiß es noch? 0 weg mal sich selbst ist bei 200 Km/h 400m und bei 250 über 600m! Wenn der Lieferwagenfahrer bei 9:00 ein bißchen besoffen ist und zu weit nach links kommt, dann gute Nacht!

Das ist definitiv schnell. Ich nehme mal an, dass er die ganze Zeit am 250km/h Begrenzer klebt. Würde auch begründen, dass das Auto verdammt leise ist, bis auf Windgeräusche. Die lassen sich natürlich bei so einer großen Kiste nicht vermeiden. Aber große Motoren (gerade BMWs) sind extrem leise für ihre Kraft. Trotzdem nice. Es steht nirgendwo, dass er von Hannover nach Berlin gefahren ist. Er sagt nur, dass er in 9,5 Minuten 25 Meilen zurückgelegt hat. ;)

Fein Fein, ich wünschte mein 90ps e36 wär so schnell :)

Hey! :) I have a problem whit my bmw 850, it dosent run properly, when i start it up in morning. and wen the engine getting normaly hot, then one of the sixer dai... ? (ded) Eny one how know what the problem is...?? (PS, M70 5,0 l) norway.

Montana speedlimits are now like 70 miles an hour but there used to be no limit in the 90s. They banned it again because of too many accidents.

my hero

im not sure but i think i read somewhere that in the US state of Maine there are no speed limits on the "autobahn"

@bored2kGER Sollte z.b. HINTEN ein Reifen platzen, hat er einen deutlich längeren Weg bis zum eventuellen Aufschlag, also folglich auch eine geringe Geschwindigkeit. Ist nur EIN bsp..

THIS IS GERMANY ;) btw, A2 has sectors that with limited speed, the major part of the route is still unlimited or has dynamic speed regulaton.

we need this in AUSTRALIA

Impressed with your driving but be careful. At that speed any tiny mistake will be horrific. I'm getting scared just watching this video. I did the same thing on the A2 near Hannover on the way to Poland, last September at night in my Audi S3. I hit about 165mph top speed. Recently I had a bad accident in England (shit country roads - A623) broke my right shoulder for life. Car was a total loss.

what is the fuel consumption at full throttle ?

wat type of car are u pushin?

the 155mph limit was a gentlamen agreement ... from a time tires were not able to go higher speeds without any problems. Till the 1990´s there were no real high speed tires able to deal with heavy high power fast sedans for long distance high speed runs.

Awesome, I reckon average speed is around 260, with peaks up to 290 (as a BMW 850 Csi without limiter can reach a top of around 300 km/h).

In Argentina, although not legally permited, there are many roads you can safely put your machine to its limits and I did it with my BMW E34 (though not as fast as this 850)

Looks amazing and fun!...But can you imagine a dog or deer crossing that raod??..Damn!!!

thats true. Im German but live in Canada and sometimes when i go to the states, i just get frustrated on the road. Americans just dont know how to drive. The switch lanes for no reason and dont check the mirrors, they block you, they drive aggressive. Canada has the same problems but not that extrem. Anyways, happy new year to the UK. you are already in 2010. Im still in 2009 for another 3 hours.

How much fuel this consumption on this speed?

@8stewiegriffin no not really. We used to have a volvo 940 sation wagen and it was able to cover about 500km at 200kmh average.

@jostorama Tell me, how can you compare and even mention a crummy Toyota Corolla on this video?

The Autobahns are still not wide enough to guarantee quick driving during rush hour. I think that Autobahns should always be 2x4 lanes around and between cities with more than 200,000 inhabitants, which would make driving also very relaxing.

trotz der geschwindigkeit kann man schildstruktureen erkennen, die andere länder als dland ausschließen.

Erstmal Kompliment für Ihre vortrefflichen Deutschkenntnisse. Was Sie meinen, ist richtig. Auf der A2 von Hannover nach Berlin gibt es seit einiger Zeit ein Tempolimit von 120 km/h aufgrund der an normalen Werktagen unglaublich hohen Verkehrsdichte, die Geschwindigkeiten jenseits der 130 ohnehin unmöglich macht. An dem Tag der Aufnahme dieses Videos jedoch war wohl Sonntag Morgen um 8 Uhr. Ich halte aber von elektronischen Limits mehr als von starren Begrenzungen.

Note: I did NOT read all of the quotes...(most are garbage) so I'm not sure if anyone brought this up...basic math skills tell us he is no where near 300kph...25 miles in 9.5 minutes is an average speed of about 157mph...a tad short of 300kph...Still love a 850 though...very sweet.
