Clarify no break, please. Like, no gas stop, no per break - literally no stopping at all except for traffic. Or do you mean like without getting out and sitting down somewhere else, like a restaurant or stopping for an hour or something like that.

Dackelone · 08-19-2016, 05:27 AM

Most new-er cars will warn you to stop/take a break after two hours behind the wheel. The first car I had heard of doing this was on the 1st gen Audi TT. Fortunately BMW knows its drivers are drivers, and can decide for themselves.

390 kilometers without stopping except for traffic. I think I can double this

08njSTEP · 08-19-2016, 05:59 AM

Drove 24 hrs no breaks. Had a Chevelle with a big block. Tank would only hold 10 gal and car got 14mi/gal. Drove from northern most WI to DC. So I stopped for gas every 2 hrs but that was all. Did it solo. The total trip was from El Paso TX to WI then WI to DC. LOTS of gas stops.

jtodd_fl · 08-19-2016, 06:04 AM

Using 08njSTEP 's standard, I did 26 hours in a moving truck stopping only for gas. 1,350 miles from Ann Arbor-ish, MI to Ft Myers, FL. Have done that drive twice.

Aust350z · 08-19-2016, 06:11 AM

~950km non-stop in an X3 2.0d (no fuel or toilet breaks). Melbourne to Sydney, Australia. Took about 9.5hrs as we were detoured via Canberra.

Dang3r · 08-19-2016, 06:36 AM

Dunno how long time this has once taken, but was 1010km at once with my good old Golf 6 GTD.

Why the hell did it take you so long?

My longest straight through drives have been Tampa to Indianapolis. 1593km
Tampa to Chicago. 1884km *
Tampa to Kansas City. 2021km
Tampa to Ann Arbor. 1879km

Edit: almost forgot the longest one.
Tampa to Colchester, VT. 2302km

*14h 15m drive time in a LSB E46 M3.

devilbones · 08-19-2016, 06:59 AM

I was thinking OP meant driving without using the brakes. Like literally not stopping.

Jaghave · 08-19-2016, 07:05 AM

Longest drive with no rest was 32 hours longest with no fuel stop was about 6 hours.

RABAUKE · 08-19-2016, 07:06 AM

Did I mention I was driving a moving truck! With a speed limiter. That felt like it would stop in all the hill climbs in the Carolinas, TN, and KY.

You're mean.

Thank you. See Mr Tonka. We are trying to make the OT kinder and gentler. You don't have to speed-shame me.

MKSixer · 08-19-2016, 08:28 AM

Baton Rouge to NYC 3x - 1350 miles

Baton Rouge to Raleigh 20+ times - 1000 miles

Baton Rouge to Cleveland 5 times - 1100 miles

All stopping for fuel only. On long drives I bring a thermos of coffee, 2 sandwiches and veggies. If I'm going for a time, I will dehydrate myself the day before so I only have to stop for one bio break. All stops less than 4 minutes except the i8. I always have 2-3 minutes of gawker time.

If I take the diesel it is only one stop.

RJ_ · 08-19-2016, 08:42 AM

Asking this question to a bunch of Americans will blow 350kms out of the water.

A week ago I drove ~470 miles (750 km) in one shot without stopping.

Swapped drivers for the next 420 miles back to my car, then I finished up with the last 175 miles home. All in all I drove about 9 hours that day. Total distance was right at 1000 miles.

Wolf 335 · 08-19-2016, 08:47 AM

500 kilometers (310 miles)

No stopping for gas or anything.
Bladder was about to explode, so once I arrived to my destination I think I peed for about 5 minutes haha.

This.

My fav road sign in the world is just outside of Houston, TX on I-10 West:

El Paso 896 Miles.

It's there to remind everyone exactly how big Texas actually is! I love it!

ASBSECU E93 · 08-19-2016, 08:50 AM

820 miles in the Treg TDi.

760 miles in the Jetta TDi.

WreckerX5d · 08-19-2016, 08:53 AM

Stateside and distance wise I think only 1000miles non stop other than fuel, this was going from somewhere Midwest to Flagstaff AZ. It took me only 12 hours or so as I was cruising 100-120mph.

Time wise I think it was a mission I did in Afghanistan, took us 36 hours one way since we had to stop for a mandatory IED blast break (in which I wasn't the one utilizing the break lol), and we were traveling so damn slow.
