KL). I drove back in my colleagues perdana V6, and there was this 318i
tailing from the back. I decided to let him pass and follow from behind
(let him be the "human shield", if there are any speed traps ;)).
The dude was driving at almost 180-190kmh,i suspect...
at 140kmh the Perdana is fine but as it approaches 170, you can hear the
stress on the engine...
In short, i had to let the human shield go...
and it was only a 318i... not even the new 318iA with the valvetronic
thinggy....

The car which i tested wasn't mine, so i was reluctant to stress the car
further. The engine wasn't very willing to go beyond 170kmh, almost out
of breath. There was a chance it might travel a bit faster if i went on,
but not without huffing and puffing.

stressful like what you mention. Even my waja 1.6 A could hit 190 without
much issue.
