Similar to Mark, i've had 175mph indicating on speedo which showed as 164mph true on Garmin GPS whilst on an Autobahn in the summer.

I still had about 1500rpm left though (stage 1 tune) so could have squeezed a few more mph out of it had i not run into 'slower' 120mph traffic...!

So my quetion is.....do the speed limiters speed work or was it just PR to please the German authorities.

when I had my Csl stock, car was retricted at 157mph (gps) back from the ring on the autobahn in the german Rürh on my way to belgium, I had 305km/h (ruffly 189mhp) and 297k true speed on the tomtom gps (185mph) and during an other try around 175mph I got passed by a red bullet, a 996 ou 997 tuned by RUF, I just saw the RUF badge..... and car disappeared. he was easelly over 200mph...

Other than shipping the ECU over to BMW Germany - how else can i have the top speed limiter removed?? Does it come as part of the package when you have a remap?? Or can you just have the limiter removed on its own??

Any re-map will/can remove the speed limiter.

Or, if you want, a tuner can just remove the limiter and leave the map alone.
