It's not pointless driving 80mph but it is to be pleased of the car as it's has more to it than straight boring freeways and America has some great secondary roads. I have driven many on my trips to the States usually in a rented Mustang convertible which is not the best cornering car but as good as any American cars.
I enjoy corners and this shows up great cars like BMW is and seeing these roads posted is more fun and the cars on them.

This is where a 116i M Sport out preforms higher performance cars and has helped me on tight racing tracks. It will be interesting how my future 220i preforms.
