I'm sure that there are a number of Europeans chuckling at a comment like that coming from an American!

The dimensions are very similar. I remember the day I picked up my E39 540i with a ~280hp V8. I got on the highway and floored the accelerator. It scared the hell out of me. I actually turned to a buddy who was with me and said something like, OMG, this thing may be too powerful for me!!
