That looks like fun 120mph on public roads without a seat belt, so you would like to be launched out of your car upon impact?

No idea, I always wear my seat belt and anyone that sits in my car does as well. Not wearing one at any speed is stupid.

You're wrong. The seat belt light means the driver isn't wearing the seat-belt.

Pre-facelifted Z4's didn't have the incessant passenger no-seat-belt-on beeping noises.

Yes I wasn't wearing a seatbelt.. Dumb i know. And for those of you that said 140, i have done 147 i could only do 120 and take the picture, no passenger was in the car. I would never drive that fast with a passenger. If i take myself out, thats one thing but to put somebody else in harms way would be more dumb than not wearing a seatbelt at 120.

I've posted my pics of the 168 speedo, but the 3.2 packs a bit more than the 3.0 or the 2.5...and I was on the autobahn

I have only gotten to 140 so far as well. It takes a while to keep climbing and there are no really good highways for it in Iowa...

I love the fact that no one has said anything about the fact that he was trying to see how fast he could go and still take a picture of it - while not wearing a seatbelt.

Maybe it's a guy thing - but why do you need a picture of it? Are you afraid you might never go that fast again? In his case that is possible since he could die while not wearing a seatbelt and taking a picture of his speedometer at 120 mph.

It's all about proof...but I don't think 120 requires it.
