Does the new JB3 remove the speed limiter?

stealth-twntrbo · 07-04-2009, 09:01 AM

I just git my new E92 and i was soon to find out the top speed was 135??? Whats up with that! Haha well I was trying to find out if the JB3 will remove the speed limiter. I am really interested in the power that the JB3 offers. But if it does not reomove the top speed limiter I think i will be going another route. Also is there any other way to remove the speed limiter and use the JB3 software??

no

As far as I know, only the PROcede, some flashes, and the AA SLD remove the Speed Limiter.

If I remember correctly I think is 150mph or 155mph on e92. Cuz I went pass 140 and didn't see any cutoff

135 if no sport package. 155 with sport package.

I have to call bs on BMW's part, I can never get above 140 before it cuts out and I have the sports package.

You have a non sport package 335i that is limited to 135 the sports package is 155.

If you can't get past 140 something is wrong with your car. I fly past 140 easily and hit a brick wall at 155.

Any other way to remove this limiter without buying one of the chips listed above? Already have a jb+ so I dont want to buy another one..

i have this same problem, mine cuts off at 147 or so on the speedo, doesnt really matter to me tho, I never get up to those speed anyway

Anyone near Clearwater, FL with a BT Professional that would be willing to meet up and remove my 135mph limiter?

Can't be done even with the BT tool.

Really? I thought I read somewhere that it could be done with the Pro ver. but not the enthusiast one.. Do you think if I went to the dealer and asked them to at least but my limiter up to 155mph they might do it?

jpsimon · 07-04-2009, 03:10 PM

Sports package on the XI is limited to ~135

stealth-twntrbo · 07-04-2009, 05:19 PM

Wow i did not know that, that really pisses me off, I was really interested in the JB3 but I guess im gonna have to go procede now that is a big bummer.

stealth-twntrbo · 07-04-2009, 05:22 PM

Can anyone confirm that forsure the BT tool cannot remove the speed limiter, also would it be possible for a local BMW dealer to remove the speed limiter???

JB335 · 07-04-2009, 05:54 PM

lol, how often do you travel faster than 135mph that your allowing that to sway your decision on which tune to buy.

A dealer is not gonna remove the limiter for you so you can forget about that.

Well the reason for them putting a 135mph limiter on the non-sport was because it did not have the higher speed rated tires from the factory.. So I was thinking about going there with my now Y rated tires and asking them kindly to raise my limiter to 155mph like the sport models get..

kaba · 07-05-2009, 03:18 AM

Euro-cars are limited to 250km/h, tested my e93 335 last summer (with no mods) with gps in germany and 259km/h (162mph)...That is enough for most of the time

Malaka1 · 07-05-2009, 03:19 AM

I mean all 335i's should have a 155mph limiter, with the JB+ at 100% installed on my car now I get to 130mph in no time and if I remember correctly not even into 5th gear..
