Yup, that is correct. On us cars, once your V-max has been removed, the speedo will not go past 160 mph. On a euro car the speedo needle won't go past 280 kph.
Here is a crappy video I made of driving my 135i back in September. I was on the A9 autobahn coming back from Munich to Nurnberg. I got up "only" to 274 kph. Its a little shaky but you can see when my speedo dial stops at 160 mph (260 kph) my M3 digital speedo still climbs. I let off at 274 kph bc that was fast enough while filming. I have seen 283 kph before.
