Unbeatable BMW, lol

From early 1974 just after the fuel crisis when a temporary 50 mph speed limit was introduced on UK motorways.

I like how the big 3.0Si got better economy than the 520!

50mph must have felt like crawling too - how long did that last?

Ha, ha, yes, the 3.0Si was a very efficient car. The 50 mph limit lasted until later in 1974. That's when the UK speed limit of 70 mph was introduced, and it has been there ever since.
