My E39 wasn't, and I'm really going to be disappointed if this one is. I won't hit it often, but when I want to, I want to.

After remap it should do at least 250 km/h and if they get the limiter out and you have a long stretch of highway it may go to the 265 on the tacho.

I've heard this before on american E46's.. I wonder why they limited the speed.. In Holland the fastest you can go is 120 km/h.. The car has a topspeed of 245 and we are not allowed to use it..
