Whats your top speed?

1rstbmw! · 02-08-2005, 02:21 AM

Hey I thought it would be cool to see what every one has "topped their car out at".Most I've ever hit has been 128mph with a cold air intake and chip reprogrammer.

I am probably hitting 115-120 at the track but I rarely look at my speedometer.

115. Stock. Automatic. GPS recorded max speed, no clue what the speedo was reading.

around 120mph then my sidemarker flew off....boo to e-bay crap.

My speedo said i was going 130,but i never looked to see how many rpm's i was at.

I have hit 120 fiarly easily, and m-technik ti that is a great looking ti. How much is it lowered?

Oh, and I've been to whatever the car is governed at. I was watching the road, not my speedo.

I have the garmin colormap streetpilot III, a GPS, and has a trip computer that records the max speed... according to that (which happens to be a little less than the speedometer reads) I was going 156.9 mph . but I read it right at the beginning of the 160 line. @ 6700 rpms

Niiice !

Speedo said 120, GPS said 116. On a stock 95 club sport.

**1996 328ti** · 02-08-2005, 01:01 PM

That makes no sense. Usually the GPS is more accurate. The speedo is inherently low.

Not for under $400.

well.... that was my reading. the gps is accurate... but the reading is late. there is a delay, because if I am going @ a constant speed, is a lot closer, but if I am accelerating, the reading is not 100% precise. I beleve for an accurate reading you must be @ constant speed. so it does make sense right?
