Saturday I drove on an empty German Autobahn (probably due to the soccer World Cup) and did a little Vmax racing with a Suzuki Hayabusa (I didn?t have the slightest chance BTW). The HUD showed a top speed of 262 km/h in M6 before I noticed the rev/speed limiter kicking in at about 6100 rpm.
Now I wonder: did BMW set the limiter wrong (normally it should kick in at 250 km/h) or doesn?t the HUD show exact speed?
Any opinions on this?

The speed gets off as your speed goes up in Bimmers. Its probably pretty close to 250...
