BMW claims 209 km/h (130 mph) for a 5-speed 318ti. Sooooo, who wants to check that?
The U.S. speed limiter keeps the car below 190 km/h (118 mph). | | | | | 06-04-2006, 03:08 PM | #6 | | Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Greensboro, North Carolina Posts: 77 |
also the later model TIs are probabally faster than the earliers ones too. __________________

The number I quoted was from a 1997 brochure for an M44 'ti. But, that number was for a European M44 'ti after BMW reduced the final drive ratio from 3.45:1 to 3.38:1 -- for marketing reasons. A later American 'ti sans speed limiter could be faster. You guys in the U.S. get all the good stuff.  | | | | | 06-04-2006, 03:39 PM | #8 | | Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: asheville, nc, usa Posts: 82 | speed limiter
How does someone bypass the limiter without doing any damage? | | | | | 06-04-2006, 03:41 PM | #9 | | Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Middlesbrough UK Posts: 34 |

Before remap it was 128bhp at wheels but now its 150bhp at the wheels.

Hope this helps | Who did the remap? Do you have a dyno showing 150hp at the wheels? I'm a bit skeptical about this, as Dinan was only able to make an additional 5hp at the wheels with an ECU remap. Please post more information. __________________

Please post more information. | Yeah he also said it was BHP which is different from Hp, BHP or british horse power is less then standard HP. Mabye some computer guy found a way to get more hp then dinan. __________________

I've had my speedo up over 130 about a year ago,not sure what the rpm's were at since i was focused on the road. But i don't know how acurate that was,i know i was atleast going 120mph if not more. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active
