Isn't the limiter for the 325 set at 130mph?
I remember reading this on the website before I bought my car, but I hit 130, then kept going a little over. (Unfortunately, the road wasn't long enough for me to keep going any faster )

Well I don't have sports pkg, but I've exceeded 130 (wasn't trying to go higher tho). I need to investigate this further...
PS. What exactly does the limiter do? Does it turn off the engine, or does it just slow the car down? |

speedo isn't exactly accurate. Someone else probably knows the actual figure of how much 'inflation' the speedo gives you.

the governor will simply not allow the throttle ofeed more gas to the engine, thereby not allowing to continue accelerating.

This must be a US thing, because my Euro 325i has no limiter - it will go right up to 152mph according to BMW.

I believe that BMW makes all speedometers fast by approximately the same amount. Based on how far my speedometer is off, your speedometer would need to read around 140mph before your actual speed would be 130mph. It would need to read around 145mph before you would be going 135mph. Here is a little table of actual speed vs. displayed speed.
Actual Displayed 100 107 110 118 120 129 130 140 150 161 160 172

I don't think I will ever go 135 with my 330i Non ZSP but It wouldn't be bad to remove the limiter If i plan to take my car on a track or something (if it doesnt the warranty)
