Since the break-in of my 335i has now officially come to an end, I´ve decided to see how it performs at higher speeds.
Here are my observations.

- the car still presses you into the seats if you floor it at 180km/h (112,5mpg). Nice...

- the step shifts precisely at the redline, that kind of scared me the first couple of times because I didn´t 100% trust it that it actually would

- wind noise is very high at 250km/h, especially around the sunroof area and the side windows. Very unlike my former E60

- can t get used to the limiter (260km/h on the speedometer). Even in 6th gear the car pulls right into the limiter, I would think it could do at least 280km/h, probably more. You have to easy off the throttle all the time or the car will hit the limiter over and over....

- mileage at high speed sucks...

- ...and in case you´re wondering, the oil temperature went right up to 125C (257F), no more. That was after 5 minutes of flat out vmax

Since I´ll be getting winter tires next week, you´ll be hearing no more of this nonsene until spring

Oil temp not bad, but it is getting mighty cold in DE this time of year.

Nope, it´s still mild right now. Here in the northermost part it was 10C/50F last night while I was out driving. During the day it´s a bit more with high temps of 23C/74F in some of the southern parts of Germany. Global warming...
