Unleash M5
Hi All,
I'm was considering a M5 and looked at one yesterday.
Love the car but it's rev limited.
I can't live with that.
Can anyone point me in the right direction so that I can reconsider a purchase?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link!
I called the company and they have what I would need.
They told me a customer of theirs hit 200.
My research today found a claimed top speed of 206.
I'm liking it.

I don't know what to tell you. I've hit the limiter on 6 different occasions in my US spec car. 168 and it won't go any faster.

True. BMW's are notorious for that.

IIRC, the speed limiter hits at a true 163 mph, which looked a little north of 170 on the speedo when I inadvertently bumped into it one day...

...in sunny Mexico.

By the way, my car has HUD which displays speed much more acurately than the in dash speedo. 168 indicated is when the fun ends....

No Luis, but the M6 has my interest.
I'm planning on driving the M5 today to check out the SMG.
