Something very odd about that video. I don't know if its sped up or what.

I've driven close to that speed on that particular stretch of road - feels nowhere as dramatic as the video makes it seem ...

Wow, that looked incredibly scary! I had no idea that the 850 was good for that kind of speed. Great vid, thanks for sharing.

I had always thought about picking one up but every time I start looking at any of the 8-series cars, I uncover a ton of reliability issues, particularly with the 850s. It's a shame that the 850csi was so limited because that is the only one I'd want!
