I thought there was a 170mph limiter?

Evidently not then

Standard BMW's are restricted to 250kph (156mph) but M cars are restricted to 260kph (162.5mph)

That's exactly the experience I've had.

No recollection Kumaran - I was using a Garmin Sat Nav that records your max speed. That was in an E39 M5 that was totally standard.

That's not an f10

Not an F10 but in my F13M I've seen 172mph on the speedo and still pulling before I lifted. GPS said max 169mph.
But I'm not the 1st owner of my car so now I wonder if it's not entirely standard.

Apart from the thread title.......

So not quite the same

Quite right, it's not exactly the same because it was an E60 M5, but the principle is that all M cars are limited to the same top speed so it was completely relevant.
Unlike your post

Don't remember reading 'M cars, what's the top speed of any of them'

It was......

F10 M5 Maximum speed (standard)

And you posted the picture of your E60 because you felt the need to be billy big balls I assume?



Still a good picture mind

I posted the pic because someone had asked what the speedo read. But yes, I missed the F10 in the thread title when I posted the picture. :Rolleyes:

Interesting contrast - e60 reving at about 6000rpm , f10 just over 4k ..

[ds666]

Oh and the e60 will run out of fuel shortly !!
