So I read that the 328i is electronically limited to a top speed of 130 mph. Is that true? Because I swear I've gone 132 before, in a safe environment

[E46driver]

i think 328s are limited to 135, but if you have sport pkg its lmited 155. Unlimited i think its in the 162 - 165 area.

130 or 155 (sport package).

I have had mine going 140 (in Germany).

[AceOnShake]

taking my e90 330i to 155 a few times. Sport package so isnt governed.

[PureE92]

Never been over 60 in mine.

Once I get an ESS tune, I'm going to remove all the limits.

[alexwhittemore]

Keep in mind that the speedometer overreads ~4%, or ~5mph at 130.

Best you will see is 162.44 MPH (coded true speed) in 5th gear. Shifting to 6th caused top speed to drop off back to ~156.

would a stock 328 really be able to go 165mph, that's pretty fast for a car with such little hp, wind drag would kill it...

[M.Etreby]

Got 262Km on my 330 a few times (digital speed coded)

sport package is indeed 155 (250kph). I personally have no need to go that fast, but it would be pretty trivial to adjust the limiter on a non-sport package with something like OFT.

[Neckbreaker]

134mph no sport package.

That's right for non-ZSP. There is a margin of error as pointed out by someone above. So you actually went about 129/130mph.

Eh its not a 335 but the 328 has something up there in the higher rev ranges. speedo is off a few units (probably would hit 158-160 radar).

@OP jup non-sport is ~135 and sport is ~155. Tune will get rid of it

[hassmaschine]

just as an FYI.. the variable that controls the top speed limit in the DME maxes out at "FF", or 255kph. There are probably ways to hack around that but the best you can do easily is 158mph through software. 260kph isn't possible unless you know something about 8 bit math that I don't..

[alexwhittemore]

Presumably if you E-limit it to "0" there is no enforced limit anymore.

[hassmaschine]

possibly. I can try that. the other thing it might do is send it into limp mode.

[alexwhittemore]

I'd bet a lot that values outside a certain range are totally ignored as a fault check. For example, a limit of 45mph would be quite hazardous.

[hassmaschine]

I doubt it's that complicated. it's not like the engineers designed it for the owners to manipulate the values..

[SuaveSpoolin]

My 328 has hit 136 then the autobahn kicks in smh i want to remove the governor bs

[thomas88162]

155 on mine(sport package). Only ever been brave enough to rack it up to 140. Also yes, in a safe place to do that. After tunnel vision kicks in I back out shortly after.

You'd be surprised at the level of thought that must go into software with respect to states that "will never happen" for everything to work as reliably as a car must. Keep in mind it's never the stuff you thought about that goes wrong.
