does hot weather or higher oil temperature affect the car not reaching top speed quicker, perhaps?
The altitude of where you tried to achieve this plays a role in your results. If your m3 is not tuned I believe the car cuts off at 155mph. If you're tuned I think 185mph is the max and as for Ess I GUESS over 200mph
