You gets to buy 98 octane in jolly old Deutschland. Might this make a difference? My window sticker says "Unlimited top speed", which is obviously subject to interpretation. Optimistic Bavarians...

It may make a small difference although 98 due to the calculation differences is actually closer to North American 92 Octane than 98 Octane NA.

Could have been X was tired of the 7 hours on Polish roads cruising at 50mph or below and she wanted a good run to get the lead out.

Yeah my route took me Warsaw past Poznan cross the border at Frankfurt on the Oder, south of Berlin then a direct shot except for a short village drive to Amsterdam and then after a good nights sleep a quick 258km to Zeebrugge in Belgium.

Had the iPod pounding out the tunes and after I left Poland the pedal was to the metal. Got another trip this coming weekend from Virginia to Denver as long as the boat turns up in Port Newark on time. Just a quick 1800 miles

How many miles do you have on the X5?

I see that you have a Bell Dector did you look at the V1?

I have just over 19K on the X and the performance reviews showed the Bel to be on par or better than the V1.
