Speedo's lie. Most read 3 to 5% higher than actual speed. The car still is limited to 155 mph - if you had a GPS you would see that. 95% of 164 mph = 155mph.

All //M models can have the top speed increased to a "real" 280 kph instead of the standard 250 kph limit. You just have to go thru M-driving school and get your racing licsence. Then go to a German BMW dealer (show them your certificate) and pay them to code the 280 kph V-Max limiter in.

Or... get a tune.
