I wonder is it possible to see any higher readings than 260 kph. Maybe from I drive, but not speedo. This based to that fact that speedo is electrical and in diagnostics mode it does not go over 260, which is the last reading. In "normal" models at least!

Wait I forget did you use Launch Control "accelerate assist" when you made that or were you shifting yourself on the console?

I was told no launch assist. Just SMG in automatic mode. There was a little tire chirp at the very beginning.

Yes, we are!
I just drove 160Km/h (100 mph) on a tow truck. Nobody was scared when I passed them on the left lane.

Did I miss the meet?

It wasn't a real meet, more a "work" meeting.
Unfortunately I had the truck with me and had to leave early again, so I didn't had the car with me.

[snapback]110605[/snapback]
Can the speed limit warning be set on all E60's?
Never noticed it on any of my menus.

AFAIK yes!

The speedo doesn't go any further. When it reaches the end it stops there. You don't know how fast you drive, unless you measure it with other (external) devices.
