I think it's a little more than just the governor removed... That E60 has something else... It also has the M5 cluster.

You mean the one in that video?
That's the only one in history displaying a 545i doing 290KM/H (180.2MPH) So yeah

155mph
545i gets to 180 with governor removed
With RPi Scoop, and RPi exhaust you might even get to 190mph? Probably not but I like to think so

Unfortunately, no current BMW that I know of can keep pace with a Z06, let alone a ZR1. Of course, we actually have respectable, comfy seats and decent interiors, neither of which the Vette has.

And this picture just makes you wonder.... Is it just cliche to take a pic doing those speeds on an empty tank??? All our e60's are governed at 155MPH except for the M5 which is 168MPH right? with the ECU software (governor removed) I think we can do around 170MPH... and the m5 can do almost 200MPH right?
Either way it's not fast enough for me.

Interesting you took a picture while doing 130mph. Its kinda cool especially when you post them on forums and show it to your buddies. King of the road. I should know. I've done the same. Well thats until I realised that doing such things can put you and others on the road in danger.
Trust me when I say, although speed is fun, if someone dies due to speed, its never going to be so "cool" after that. There is a place to drive fast.
Hope it was done on a private track.
cheers
