140mph yet the 75ml chase took an hour...
My thought exactly, either the police can't do maths or the speed detector wasn't working quite right!I'm hoping this turns out to be some kind of BMW marketing thing for the 6er Gran Coupe:
"Aha! It appears to be a coupe, but actually it's a more practical 5-door configeration, giving you, the BMW driver, the best of both worlds. And a top speed in excess of 140mph."
(And, presumably, no indicators).

Clearly wasn't trying. You can easily hit the assumed limited 155 in places on the M25 with no traffic. Did he stop for the Dartford crossing toll? Did the police? Reminds me of Blazing sadddles.
Guess it was like a sort of track day with a hire car, no worry about fuel, damage or tyres. Some good tunnels on the M25, next time he needs a cabrio with a decent exhaust note, but then the sirens perhaps would ruin that?

Best PH car chase I've seen - the guys who used a Scooby and an Evo to do a warehouse or something, booted it up the M40 hot pursuit style at 125mph.... and then were arrested when they stopped for petrol because the eve was empty somewhere around Banbury
Perfect planning prevents piss poor performance - that and a large fuel tank.

Not quite up to the standard of Smokey Nagata on the A1M
Where's the video? Do you think this is a bloody playground?...
