Thankfully German autobahn, just 20 min away from my place. First 10km are unrestricted..hehehe!

Unfortunately, switched to winter setup after engine breakin. H rated=210km (130mph) max limited.

Max out my E46 plenty of times to 150mph though...in the 545i it's academic really.
Only a de-limiter will make things more interesting !!!

Maybe Iceman can tell me the dechipping company he used??!!

You can go any company which make remapping and ask them to increase the limit. Away it can't be taken.
