    Has anyone done this? If so, how much does it cost? I'm going to Frankfurt next week on business and I was thinking of renting a car for a few days.

    I think you may also get yourself a discount if you are a member of an approved BMW club. Email me (bmw AT kbannon.com) if you need more info.

    Be careful where you're speeding as well as afaik not all the motorways have no speed limit.

    And bear mind that hi speed Autobahn driving is very dangerous. I've clocked a fair few mile on them and they still can give me the ****s. You've got cars and trucks going at anything between 60 and 160mph. You ned to be on top of your game to play in that league:D

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    Also at speeds over a certain level, you are automatically deemed to be 25% responsible for accidents, even if you were completely blameless

    Might need to check out the details cause I'm a bit rusty on this one ;)

    My friend let loose on the autobahn in an unrestricted cl 55 amg! It's around E80/day for a 911 not sure what spec 911 it is.

    Word of warning: Everyone who will have driven a fast car before you will have had the same idea so be CAREFUL. Ask to check the tyres before you take it out as they will have severe wear if they were driven very fast - a blowout at 190mph isn;t advisable. Also make sure they give you a decent spare wheel, not one that you can't drive with at over 50mph. Other than that only advise I have is use the autobahns in the NE - they're the least busy!

    Oh and one last thing - when you see speed cameras don't worry! They're for trucks and statistics.
