no you haven't. use a better source like a gps and you will see that 166 or so on the hud equals 155 real world. Car speedometers are "down tuned" for safety and legal purposes.

yeah.. I hit the limiter showing around 166 on the autobahn... you can feel the acceleration just stop.
BMW actually as a math problem for what the display shows vs. actual... It's like .98 x actual MPH +0/-3 MPH

+1 limits at 167 (269km/h) in 6th gear @ 5400RPM. Had to look at my gopro vids from AutoB.
As mentioned it's not really 167 on a gps. Last edited by Spinny02; 03-03-2014 at 07:53 AM.. |

Doesn't matter what vehicle we drive a GPS is a must to determine speed. On our 80 mph + jet skis we use a garmin
