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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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. "
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.
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.
@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.
@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..
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! ;)
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.
§ 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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
@sekacmagor it had 80l. But it was a bigger engine but still very efficient even when doing 200kmh. Im pretty sure this BMW can go at least 250km with one tank full speed.
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.
kein wunder dass das speedlimit eingeführt wurde, denn bei 3:15 wechselt er die spur egal ob mit oder ohne blinker, denn wenn einer gleichzeitig von der rechten auf die mittlere spur wechselt, gehts ins auge.
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.
Nice...that's freedom ! lucky guys in Germany And, I can't see any sequence were the driver put himself or other persons in danger ? A few years ago, I was near to buy a 850Csi..finally I took a Vette C5 also great and cheaper maintenance costs
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.
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)
you guys agree that this car is getting more expensive everyday and that its gonna be a real classic this century?? you think price will go up for sure?

The people you passed probably dropped their jaws. Your steering wheel didn't shake one bit. Nice car, fun video! Thanks
and the left stip is just clear. Paradise for cars like this one is
Ein herrlich entspannendes Video. Linke Spur, kaum Verkehr,volle Lotte.
Einfach nur Geilo.
Such a straight 'bahn. Silly to limit it.
The 850 was such a classic :)

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

Excellent video. Smooth & steady driving! I love Autobahn.
wunderschönes video, dazu kann man geradezu entspannen!
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!
freakin awesome speed, that must have been an awesome drive.
wow, what an amazing car!
description says it all
And smallest mistake turns car into confetti.
Yep really Dangerous but that IS a high for itself
Yeah its not for amateurs, the autobahn requires concentration from experienced drivers.
Oh My 2001
21 Years Ago!!!
2 Decades
They are Still Some Highway Streches in Germany with no Speed Limit.
Thankfully
the fastest way to get warsaw. V12 blitzkrieg.
heh ... that true... ;)
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!!

excellent driver + excellent car + excellent roadway = excellent driving conditions / envy of the driver driving @
@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?
The Autobahn 2 goes from Hannover to Berlin. He only recored a 25 miles section.
I also did this with my Corvette, but not for such a long distance!! omg this guy seriously has some balls
where are you now its been 15 years ?????? is the car still with you ????????
This baby is fast as hell! Great vid!
Indeed, my uncle's 135i with AC Schnitzer chip to 377 bhp also reaches 300 km/h exactly.
das ist wahre Power.. und das bei dem Alter.. das ist BMW!
@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..
the a2 is passes my city too, u gotta remember that all the cars in the middle lane are fast as 150kmph at least.
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! ;)

im not sure but i think i read somewhere that in the US state of Maine there are no speed limits on the "autobahn"
Beautiful video and skilled driver!

A true speed lover.... to who ever that is.... nice!!!
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.
perfect driving ! excellent driver !

nice car man wa a straight road i love the autobahn
whats the L/km usage of this car? and how much did you use in that trip?
@jostorama Tell me, how can you compare and even mention a crummy Toyota Corolla on this video?
Wow! Great driving footage! What was the day and time while you recorded the video? I've never seen such an empty autobahn.
how long u can drive with full of tank when average speed is between 200-250km ?
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.
@sekacmagor
it had 80l. But it was a bigger engine but still very efficient even when doing 200kmh. Im pretty sure this BMW can go at least 250km with one tank full speed.
i have a dumb question... but are motorcycles allowed on the autobahn?
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.
BMW 8 Series...Best car ever made in my opinion
So, what made them take it out? Safety issues?
kein wunder dass das speedlimit eingeführt wurde, denn bei 3:15 wechselt er die spur egal ob mit oder ohne blinker, denn wenn einer gleichzeitig von der rechten auf die mittlere spur wechselt, gehts ins auge.
wat type of car are u pushin?
@8stewiegriffin
no not really. We used to have a volvo 940 sation wagen and it was able to cover about 500km at 200kmh average.
wish we had roads like that here
what is the fuel consumption at full throttle ?
trotz der geschwindigkeit kann man schildstruktureen erkennen, die andere länder als dland ausschließen.
The average speed for the period is an astonishing 157.89 mph
on some parts there is... where there is more traffic ecc ecc.. it depends also from the time of day...
what an incredible machine
Ahso, und wie schnell is es erlaubt denn, zB 200 kph oder weniger?
Is there a speedlimit on the autobahn??
25 miles in 9,5 minutes, that's an average of 254 km/h. Incredible.
schönes fahrzeug - hat er 12 töpfe oder 8 ?
In 9.5 Minuten 25 Meilen (40,2336 km) ergibt eine Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit von 254 km/h. Das nenn ich mal flottes Reisen!
How much fuel this consumption on this speed?
@76Schoeneberg30
damit links noch 2 leute überholen könne falls sie 330 bzw 350 fahren?
Mitte ist sicherer bei so einem tempo wenn die bahn leer ist..
eigentlich gibt es jetzt fast überall das dynamische verkehrsleitsystem, kommt also drauf an, ob gerade viel los ist
Schonmal vom Rechtsfahrgebot gehört, wenn die mittlere und rechte Spur Kilometerlang frei ist?
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.
there is no speedlimit in gernal, but there could be speedlimits at certain parts.
Nice...that's freedom ! lucky guys in Germany
And, I can't see any sequence were the driver put himself or other persons in danger ?
A few years ago, I was near to buy a 850Csi..finally I took a Vette C5 also great and cheaper maintenance costs
which translates to around 159mph. That is one smooth fast car.
"So what you' ve just seen can never be done again."
....... or can it
Erstmal Kompliment für Ihre vortrefflichen Deutschkenntnisse.

Very true. I've caught myself entering a gas station at 80, where the speed limit was 30.
you are indeed living up to your name.. Because doing what you want, in city traffic, is not really safe.
850csi einfach nur geil!!!!
thank you for this video! Great car!
Yes, I understand but I'm still curious of why the Germans took the speed limit out.
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).
How fast was this guy going?
beautiful.
Is allgemeine Vorschrift ? ^^
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)
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
Die A2 mal leer? Krass, wann war n das?
whats tha speed limit now?
Super Vid..
Ein 8ter Bmw ist immernoch edwas bessonderes.
waum ein tag vor dem tempolimit??? in der autobahn gibt es keinen tempolimit!! oder so???
you guys agree that this car is getting more expensive everyday and that its gonna be a real classic this century?? you think price will go up for sure?
