Most tickets (135)

Just wondering if anyone else has gotten an insane amount of tickets? This car has an extremely boaty suspension and sound dampening makes me lose that sense for speed. I've been riding sport bikes (on track) which further warps my sense of speed and had full stiff suspension on 600#springs in my E46. I better stay in 4th gear on the freeway; license is going away for 30 days now. Byebye!

I have definitely caught myself in ticket territory on accident. I even went so far as to set the speed limiter a couple of times. So, you have just lost yours for 30 days? Bummer.

I got 4 speeding tickets in 2008 driving my SRT cars. One cost me a trip to court! I now use the speed limiter which definitely helps me as my speed increases. I live in the marshall state of VA, so no radar detector for me!

haywood...I also lived in va. A radar detector ticket is a lot cheaper than a speeding ticket and they never confiscated mine when I lived there.

Since getting my 128i I've only been pulled over once and got a warning. It was WV going I-77 north. Was doing 80 in a 70 and cop said "I pulled you over cause you were doing 80. It's no big deal, I'm just going to write you a warning." then when he came back with my licence and warning he said "Just try to keep it around 75." Then winked at me and walked away.

None so far, too many CHP on my drive (101 -> 170 -> 5) so I keep it close to the speed limit
