Re: euro vs. us spec 528e?

Hi,
I currently live in Germany, and have asked this question also. There's plenty of differences btw the euro and US spec. cars. 1. the windsheild does not have the shatter proff on it. 2. the speedometer is in km instead of miles. 3. the coolest though the euro spec is not govenered unlike the US specs. My 528i is governed @ 130mph. I've pushed it to the limit and it cries out for more. It handels perfectly at 130 mph as of you were at 55mph. 4. I think they don't require a catalytic converter. There are other differences also. I don't know where you live but we cannot bring a euro spec vehicle back to the states without paying about 5000.00 to get it converted to US specs. Hope that this helps in your decision.
