Hartge has has found out how to remove the 250 km/h (155 mph) electronical top speed limiter.
With Hartges software update the 540i tops 265 km/h, the 545i 270 km/h and the 550i 275 km/h (171 mph).
The tuning costs about ?1,150 in Germany.

My Ride: 645Ci black/red, Eibach springs, K&N air filter, Wetterauer ECU upgrade, Eisenmann 83mmx4 exhaust, 20" Sportec wheels-Michelin PS2 tires, Hamann front add-on lip
I had my ECU remap from Wetterauer which include more power gain and removal of speed limiter. Cost $990 Euros

For a request they usually will increase speedlimit when remap is done. Increase only because it can not be removed. Mine is 290kph.
