520i - 2.2lt

Supersprint exhaust and K&N filter the only mods ...as yet.

240 km/h on speedo - 233 km/h on GPS, with fifth gear in gearbox, till rev limiter. Sixth is useless on mine when trying top speed.

The last time I did 240, our forum member and friend of mine Andy545 was at the passenger's seat
