Does the non-US version of CP include CCB?

I appreciate all the responses and am not remotely bothered by my misinformation - no regret whatsoever and I'm thrilled with the car.

One other question on the CP - is the top speed still limited to 155?

Yes, all M5s are limited to 155. You will see people claim higher indicated speeds, but those are due to speedo errors. There is an allowable tolerance of 10% + 2.4 mph over actual speed.

I believe that M6-Coupe has the documentation from BMW.

Maybe a mod can make a sticky thread about it here and over on the M3/M4 board.

Those guys are going nuts that they are not limited at 155 because they have heard of someone going faster.

I hear you. My experience is to avoid arguing with them! There are many people over there neither educated nor mature enough to discuss. Their only concern is speed limit, weight and 1/4 mile time and that's why I enjoy messing with them when I say the sporty-luxury M5/M6 is big and heavy but faster than their toys

Funny. My 2008 335 was spot on 155 at limiter. I understand error in imprecise measurement, but 7% variance seems way too much. Nonetheless, I learned something new
