Speed limiter is removed !!
Best mod so far -

Not if you're trying to beat crazy cars

It was actually a 60 roll though due to it being in 30 degree weather

I was in court last year on a charge of street racing (which I was actually innocent of; I was only speeding but the guy couldn't read my speed, and then thought I was a test driver because I was wearing a BMW M shirt). Fortunately it was dropped due to lack of evidence and the sheer stupidity of the police assumption, however I would hate to be in that position and actually be guilty.

If someone wants to race me, I let them go ahead. Have too much to lose.

Sounds like a wise policy

I actually looked into this the other day.. was curious as well. I believe DINAN has a 2012 M/Y M5. They designed and manufactured control arms, then BMW in some way changed the OEM M5 control arms starting with my M5's build date (03/13).

Take a look at what I highlighted in this pdf:
