Fastest I've done in my 550 so far is 140 mph, but I know I had plenty of power left. I heard the M5 can take a family of 4 or 5 to 200 mph (is that actually true??) but what is the expected top speed of the 550?
Not that I would take here there
I'd just like to know.

My 530dA E61 was getting to 240-250 when it still had the factory 218ps. After the remap to 260ps it was showing around 265km/h on the speedo on a few high speed runs in Germany. No GPS reading, so expect I was somewhere near the 250km/h mark?
So on the image above, are you saying you hit a genuine GPS measured 274km/h in a remapped 530d?!

IMHO, there was still more speed left, but we got stuck in traffic.
I think that +270km/h is possible.
