Here in US (most states I presume), are lucky if we hit that speed without getting any ticket plus the fact that the car is speed limited at 155mph. You guys (and gals) are fortunate in Euro that you can really put the car's performance to its full extent.

Now this is a big story, finally the GPS information I have been waiting for.

What is strange is that the error is not an even percentage. 3%, 2.5%, 4.6%, 5.6%. Really does not make sense.

Either way this makes your 330 very likely an actual in mph of 194 Great! Remind us was this neutral in terms of the slope and ambient wind. Seems a bit too high for the cars hp and CdxArea. Either way a great post, worthy of it's own topic for sure! Congrats, be safe!!

I've hit an indicated 270Km/h (around 168.7 mph) before the speed limiter shut me down. I guess that must be around 161 mph true, if the earlier posted speedo errors are an indicator.

I was amazed on my test drive how stable the e92M3 is at speed.
