If it isn't on the list then? There is no way of knowing other than to interrogate the ECU, if the car has not had a remap (which incidentally will invalidate the warranty, Mondial also have a list of the Factory delimiteds).

What a dealer might say to move a car on, is something ongoing. I know that one or two members have been surprised when they've checked the list!

Even though it was a no cost option, I have it on good authority that BMW stuck rigidly to their original policy, a marketing ploy perhaps, but no License no delimited!
That's why there are so few; only 49 of the reputed 422 UK cars, 14 SBs and 35 SGs were Factory produced.

There is a much simpler way of checking of course!

I see he kept 500rpm in reserve

Maybe it was the weight that meant you were at the limit

As Matt posted above, about genuine 175 (with a slight tail wind I'd guess) is all they've got folks. And yes, the speedo is way over......bending off the stop pin at that!

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...--2004/1909065

sold as well. apparently a collectors m3 csl ... and just my humble opinion... looks a little rough around the edges and not overly keen on black rims. The new owner will be the lucky 9th owner!!. I wonder if the provenance is any good on this one!
