240 km/h (~150mph) and still a bit of reserve. No limit on the cars here, except for the 130 km/h allowed.

But don't wanna get

so it's not for everyday use.

Anyone hit 140 in a 250?

I've hit 125 with ease, i'm sure the 250 can hit 140mph with no problem.

220 klicks against a Grand Prix, 220 with a 328i, and only about 140 before getting spanked by a Jetta that was only toying with me... *L*

NOt yet. Went as fast as 110 with ease during break in period. Car felt very capable of going 140 IMO.

It drove like silk! Then I started to wonder??? how fast can it go without shaking apart or blowing something apart?
Anyone?

Title: How fast have you "drove" your IS? Where did you learn your grammer? It should be "driven". It is amazing to see the bad grammer, misspelled words and generally bad English/American on this forum. Then we wonder how we disconnect!
