PP-Performance 800bhp top speed (video)
As I promised I shot a video of the car accelerating to its top speed. It seems that at exactly 328 km/h or 316 km/h on v-box there is yet another limiter. My car reaches that speed so fast and then it gets stuck. We will now look into removing that limiter as well. It seems there is a limiter on the gearbox.

Unbelievable how smoothly the car is riding at that speed.

I wonder if the 6MT has a limiter in the trans?

It's probably the exact same limiter in the DCT as AC Schnitzer discovered at Nardo on their M6 GC. I believe they found it cut in at 320km/h (as per Nardo speed trap measurement). |

Thanks for your efforts at testing the limits of this car. I wonder why BMW has felt it necessary to have redundant limiters? Would they even answer the question if it were put to them? I speculate that they have built an engine that will be their base power plant for a number of years, and merely through programming changes will be able to match the competition if the horsepower continues to escalate. It seems they don't want their customers to be able to reach the full potential of what this car is able to deliver, and wish to reserve that achievement for the factory.

the old post reached 3 pages and people asked for video, after you posted it, the people against PP-Performance didn't show up.
I think they are shocked and had heart attack hahaha |

How are we doing with the TRACTION -
I can't imagine dude! You need to change rear tires every week this way - Not just that I am not sure how much impact on 0-60 and Quarter mile trap time , for sure they will be better but number won't be worthy of 800 crank HP!! Like if it were AWD every single pony will score but this way you are getting at Max half what you deserve because of traction!! More fun though - Have track numbers or not yet? |

I'm planning a 1/2 mile drag race in September and need my Top end limiter removed. How can I get this done here in the states. Also don't want to effect my BMS stage 1 with meth, do they do just the limiter? Let me know G |
