Hi Buck, congratulations, that will be fun to take late at night on the Alpharetta Autobahn* sometime. (*Georgia 400, which can either be a parking lot during rush hour or a nice stretch of super slab running out of midtown ATL).

Thanks! I live just off I 85 north just NE of Atlanta where the average speed runs around 146 mph. I’ll blend right in!

During my annual fall sojourn to GA I get onto I-575 at Canton and off at Ball Ground at about 6:30 a.m. To keep up with the traffic one definitely has to run 80+, even in the right lane. Not a place to tarry.

Fun fact..about 5-10 yrs ago, some publication (I think it was US News & World Report) did a study on highways nationwide to find the “fastest” stretch of highway in the country. Number 1 was the 10 mile stretch of I-85 in Gwinnett County NE of Atlanta. Ha!

Buck..., makes me think of the Autobahn in northern Germany.
Once I drove back from Hamburg, at 130 mph in the right lane, while the Germans were driving much faster in the left lane...

I’ve had the same experience, driving from Würzburg to Bremen. It’s paricularly nerve wracking when you come over a rise and find an old truck going 60 and you’ve no place to go. But the roads are a lot better than Atlanta[emoji16]

Great car, Buck! A couple of years back, we picked up a BMW in Munich, just a bit south of the 'other guys' auto plant. Fantastic experience, highly recommended (for either car). When I left the factory with the family onboard, our guide recommended to keep it under 160 km/hr (100 mph) for the first 1,000 km, otherwise there >could< be a warranty issue. Being a good boy I did just that. but I did manage to get a couple of camera-based speeding tickets on some winding (and empty) Bavarian country roads.

Have fun! Watch out for cameras --

Pretty excited, just talked to my dealer yesterday and it’s being loaded onto a ship…headed over seas!

Hope it is packed with plenty of desiccant packets. Gets rather wet at sea!
