Ghost "AW" 335i Blast me past 155....!
So I was on my way to pick my GF up from Melbourne, FL from West Palm beach, FL. That must be about 120 miles distance between point A-B. I Entered I 95 from EXIT 70 @10:25AM and I sided with an Alpine White e92 335i. we were both cruising @ 85mph for about 10 miles and then he started pulling away, 100, 120, 140, and then, 155 MPH came, BUT he Kept Pulling away viciously fast My car has the sport package, w' 6MT my top speed as you all know is 155 for the sp package and i believe around 135mph for the non. so my question is, how was that possible ? I have searched every web site and there is nothing that i can find as a speed ? restrictor remover? (if that is what is called)
I am a New Member, actually this whole thing happened today and i came on here hoping to find him ! he had a "e90post.com" sticker on his drivers and rear window along with an "AOPA" sticker and he also had the front lip, stock rims. Anyone has an idea who that might be? |

Doesn't the Procede software increase the speed limiter past 155? Maybe that's what he had...
Isn't AOPA the Airplane Owner/Pilot association? Maybe he thought he was flying!

Speedometer error. Your Indicated 140 was most likely closer to 125-130. Speedo errors get much much worse at higher speeds. If at 65 you are actually going 62 etc, the inaccuracy increases dramatically as speeds increase. Not quite an exponential, but kinda.
Awhile back out in the sticks, my speedo had wrapped itself almost to 160, while GPS hand held had my top speed saved as 143 FWIW. Moving either way.

5% at 50 mph is only 2.5mph. 5% at 150 is 7.5mph, maybe even more if it's not linear.

Well, PPL (dealers) are watching. Just search for the 5-series governor remover on the internet and you will come around it like i did. Enough said. Get ready to have the ECU shipped out and the car in the garage for 3 wks for me. PM me, i might be able to help more. |

where did his posts go? Maybe cause he deleted his own posts since he was stated he was going over a zillion mph and he didnt want his dealer to see that?
