No one got above 200, you should read the entire thread.

right, so 330 = 206mph...so no way right? But 315 is 197mph...hmm.

No doubt the poster floored it and maxed out, but do you think it can actually go 197 mph? I'm not claiming to know - I'm really asking.

Most know that BMW speedos read high, typically about 3-4%. By law they can not read low! This has been verified by GPS by a lot of folks, myself included. No way an M3 (nor M5) totally stock on flat ground with no wind advantage is going to break 200 mph.

I would be surprised if it broke 190mph on flat ground. I hit 175mph maxed in an e46 m3 with an m6 by me doing about 185-190.
