I love speed just as much as the next guy, but even the minutest mistake can cause irreparable damage--and I'm not solely referring to your vehicle. Come on man, be smart about it.

Unless this was on a track (which is highly unlikely) you're free to do whatever you want with your life, but don't bring in the possibility of seriously harming others.
When I finally found the car online, I just had it sent over without even test driving it and that wasn't gonna keep me from buying it. I just bought the car in Feb. of this year so haven't had a chance to have it changed. One thing I did notice that this model goes to 280km and others say 260km. Not that I plan on finding out.

To be honest with you I agree that was a dumb ass move on my part. I love to drive fast but that was over board.

I hit 155 limit heading from Cali to AZ in the middle of nowhere. Got back on the highway after pit-stop. I was still in 4th. Didn't realize I had more shifting to do cuz I was too busy looking for holes and desert animals. These cars are more than capable, too bad our roads do suck as much as they do.
Thanks Obama.

Ah, I figured that was the case; I just thought it was "mandatory" to have it changed? Idk, something to do with regulations and trying to register the vehicle at the DMV. I suppose the instrument cluster is irrelevant when it comes down to it, haha. When and if you do decide to get it swapped out, you can also look into changing the LED of the instrument cluster from Amber to White (a-la E60 M5) or an "Ice Blue" to give it a little more uniqueness.

Anyway though man, sorry if I may have come off as a little bit too "blunt", but just stay safe out there!

Take care.

All km/h speedo goes to 280 km/h (at least in Canada), while all mph speedo goes to 160 mph which is ~260 km/h.

Since I owned my E90 328i? Let's see... 79 mph
My daily commute involves half city driving and half freeway driving swarmed with state police setting up speed traps.....

I was trying to get more info on this model. I've read about the ZSP and I was thinking this model I have is a ZSP. Not sure if you read anything on that.

All tunes remove the speed limiter except for Burger Tuning (JB4). But, if you have JB4, you can get the BMS SDL or get the free BMS backend flash which removes the speed limiter (N54).

quick question. i have the backend flash and when i have coding done so my speed is shown in digitally as well (v=xx). but the other day i tried to see how much faster i could go past 155 and my speedo and digital stopped at 157??? does that make any sense? will the car not go any faster cause the speedo stops at 160??
