I dont know what the car would do if all limits were coded out, but some on the forum have indicated that the car will do 200.

As Boss330 has found out through AC Schnitzer's testing, there are in fact two speed limiters on the F10 M5. One on the engine and one on the transmission. The one on the engine can be increased to 190mph through the Euro Drivers Package. If you take the limiter off of the engine then the transmission will limit the top speed to about 196mph. Last I heard, AC Schnitzer's was still trying to remove the DCT Limiter.
Too many damn limiters on this car. I wonder if it is limited like this to protect the transmission or something.
