Here's one sent in by Brian Horne. It was taken in Germany in a
2.8 Z3 coupe
on the A3 heading into Mainz. Hugh Golden is at the wheel and they are doing
240 kph which is the max speed of the stock coupe.

suspension and BMW Individual all leather interior with roll down
sunshades in the back. Estimated speed about 140!!
