177 mph on the origin b2 AND the road angel,  at 4am........

but then again, its "had some work"

ps.......you can bypass the speed limiter on a M3 by going past 155 in 5th gear, then slipping it in to 6th

hows that work then?

thought it would be speed and not gear that would hinder the passage above the limit of 155

if it does work,  BU&&ER wish i'd known that when i had my one   [:'(]

hi m8,

its somthing to do with fooling the brain, it jusrt expects you to be in top at that speed!!  i only found out as i forgot about 6th on the smg !!  i looked over and saw 157 THEN clicked in to 6th!!! and it just kept pulling up to 175, so i held it a bit longer, looked over, saw 177 and thought "fu*k this"!!!!!  when did i last check the tires? are the wheel bolts tight ect ect ect!!  mind you it had just been seviced by bmw so all was good!

unlike when i just got the car, got it on the thursday, took off to oban (great road) for the weekend, loads of high speed ish twisties, not too mad though as i had only just got the car, then up to orkney for a few days via loch ness and fort william, then back down the A*  at over 140 at times, the bit where its splits in to two way up north,

got home to have the tire pressure alarm go off........... i was putting a new set on anyway, so when the garage took off the offside front, guess what??

that foam tire punture stuff had been used!!! looked like rotten milk!! so thats all that kept me on the road........hmmmmm

since then i have done a few "wee things" and if you think scoobys are dear to tune, get a M3 it will break your heart and you will love it in the same moment!

try 3k for a exaust system, £500 for a air intake, 2k for suspention, 3k for brakes ect ect ect

cheers robinh20mrv.
