Talking Video: 03 E55 (non-US) accell to 260 kph

Nice little video (don't know if this is a repost or not) short walk around, burnout, some rolling shots, and a staight accelleration run.

Looks like 250-260 kph, nice for those of use with no room to have this kinda fun safely

Enjoy,
Jon

I like the video. But can someone tell me what it is the dash digital display is showing when he is accelerating. The display shows this funny rhomboid-double diamond symbol?? It seem to turn as he gain speed??

i was wondering about that too... noticed it right away.

Is that the result of a 'bad' cleaning job? Or is it just dirty?
