Jidex are you from the tri-state area? Congrats on that nasty top speed run, I'm borderline on delimiting my E60, I might take advantage of it and get myself killed.

If you ever change your mind let me know and I'll give you all the details on where it can be done
professionally.
Its a complety different car once delimited
It can easily hit 186 mph in 6th..I changed at 180 in 6th in this video with loads of rpm to spare.
before I would always hit
the limited in 6th at 170 mph...now....well......see for yourself.....

So like I said..let me know when and I'll fill in the how , where and cost
Cheers

Thanks
However if you noticed the car was rock steady all the way up to 196 mph. No cabin vibration etc.
Glad you liked the vid though

I paused at 160 mph and 180 mph because of a change in the road. My foot was not planted the whole way up to 196mph
I needed to be sure first
But yes this an outstanding characterristic of this car. It pulls hard from 3rd and its relentless and stable
Notice the lackof cabin noise or rattle.
it felt planted
I was out of gas after this though........I guess driving at 190 mph + does raise the fuel consumption a tad Ha ha
