we also have limitations here too, and also in Germany. I "only did 260 this Summer". But the top speed wud be more, but as there are idiots out there who comes in front of you from inner lanes, and I will wait for some BIG brakes that ease stopping from high speed.

right on very unsafe to drive this fast for stock brakes. Just make shore that itis 3am on the road where there is little car. then you can use the stock brakes.
I only do it 1s to feel how the car handles, very good :thumbsup:

Accordingto my speedometer it was a bit over 155mph, like 155 and part of a needle on A81 coming back from Stuttgart (after the obligatory stau!) I did notice the gas gauge moved practically as fast ast the speeedometer though!
:think:

Last weekend, was able to "cruise" at 220kmh for about 10min as there was virutally no traffic and no trucks (I find overtaking trucks at high speed far too dangerous as one never knows if they change lanes last sec)

noise level remained very acceptable :thumbsup:

I also found that the GPS starts to assume you travel at this speed for the remainder of the journey and started to suggest irrealistic arrival times. Too bad it is irrealistic :D

310 km/h :wow: ( on the HUD ) hitting the speed limiter! Not bad ....... :whistle:

Not sure i really want to know since we are so lucky to have a speed limit here in the US, but i'm just curious about top speeds you have hit in your e60s. I've barely popped over a 100mph (vegas trip, maybe 110), however, at some point that will change! :D

I really thought Los Angeles had the worst drivers, but i'm beginning to alter that opinion...i think most of them have moved to San Diego! lol!

Has anyone here with a 545 ever had the top speed limiter kick in? Its supposed to be at an actual 150 or 155 mph and I know the speedometer is optimistic so 160 on the speedo might be only 150mph actual. Mine has never come on unless its so progressive.

155mph...

To the end "needle" of the speedo (260 indicated). Now have to try again with GPS.

GPS timed 172mph (275 km/h)about 5 times in one week this summer back in Germany.

535d remapped and limiter increased. (to 290km/h I think, although it won't reach it)

hello,

another oil-burner speedo:

my 535d is remapped with 334hp and removed speed limiter.
i stopped pushing after it ran 174mph, real speed, measured by gps.

i'm driving to munich often, there's no speed limit on quite a part of the autobahn there.

i'd guess probably 2-5mph would have been left to increase speed..
