I can pull 85 if I have to, but 75 seems to be a sweet spot for mine.
All the talk about slow 240D's seems a bit overstated to me. I never have trouble keeping up with San Antonio traffic. Katy (on the way in to Houston) is another story - they are CRAZY over there!!! :b

Possibly orient red . The car was merging from 181 to 37 north . Would biodiesel reduce smoke when accelerating thats what we noticed hell even the wife was saying " its not even smoking like yours " . What rear gears did these 4spds come with ? 65 - 70 is where mine likes to stay but I guess tire size comes into play here 185 / 75 / 14's acceleration increased when I installed them it had 205's when I got it.
I also stand corrected in san antonio its not considered merging more like side by side racing cut over then blink once. Proper way of changing lanes!!?? Maybe thats why it seemed diffrent the guy in the mercedes actually merged this in turn mesmerized me caused me to sit back in amazement and made a 240 seem extremley fast .
