Nice video Andy 
288km/h on a 2 lane AB is little to much and it is easy that some one block your way.

Are you saying your stock 545i does 288 kmh of speedometer, then more than real 280 kmh ?
Pls activate the speed men? next time, so you will know real speed .
I want M5 clusterrrr!!!!
What kind of problem does it have now ?
Only the current km of the car ?
I didn't see errors/lights on it .
But my question is : which top speed would have my 545i, that has +50 HP at the wheels ?
(+15 because of the steptronic, others by mods)
Finally, can you upload it on YT ? I have to show it to a person .
Bye and congrats!

Alex, the only thing I am interested at those speeds are the road (and HUD speed) !

Alex, I answered this some time ago: no errors while in M mode of the steptronic. In D/DS: transmission error message.
But my question is : which top speed would have my 545i, that has +50 HP at the wheels ?
(+15 because of the steptronic, others by mods)
I don't know !

I do however expect the 545i will reach natively 300 if given the space and oppurtunity - will be tested next spring now !

what works for me is to look waaay ahead, balance risk, preplan course of action then translate it into pedal/steering input !

correct. Small snag though, you need to follow a procedure similar to the M5 cluster - when you go for a software update and get connected to the computer, Progman notifies which components will get "updated" - if the DME is not mentioned, I keep my remapped DME on without any problems. Remap is not affected. However, if DME is included in the update, remove remapped DME, install stock DME and reinstall remapped once again.
All this must be done locally at the dealer. You cannot swap before as the previous DME holds the last code from the immobiliser (when switching off the engine it changes every time!) which the swapped one does not have --> therefore engine will not start.
You only need the stock DME for the update and only if the DME needs an update.
