I got 164mph after DMS re-map. Before that 157mph (see pic). 
I have no 3 laners near so guess I have a problem. My remapped 530d is keen to go 155+ but I lose the space :thumbsdown:

My Ride: MY06 530i, US Spec, Premium, Nav, HUD, Comfort seats, CWP, Sport package, Rear side airbags. Produced Sep 06.
154 mph on autobahn in N. Germany returning from BE. The US spec governor kicked in and wouldn't let me go any faster. A little wind noise above 130mph but car handled great!
sure miss those days...TX counties are not nearly as forgiving. :'(
