What speed you reach on your M3

maxmak · 07-02-2012, 05:39 AM

I had reached 150mph. The feeling was real good. Know what the M3 can do. The car remain stable. So different than I drive 134mhp on Si(limit of the Si). wanna reach 8400rpm on 6 gear. But I saw a CHP. Stop and get off highway immediately. wanna know how fast you drove on m3.

155 on the Autobahn during my ED trip. Redlined fourth on the way there. I'll never attempt anything like that on a public road here in the US. It's very dangerous and illegal.

If I was aloud to drive at 155 I would be able to report that there is a lot of wind noise at that speed. The door glass does not seal all that well.

Can you tell me how to driving high speed legally? Thanks

In Germany we have a recommended speed on the Autobahns, but you can legally go as fast as you'd like to.

Personally, 176mph. I felt some shaking and at that speed if anything goes wrong (especially cross winds) it's pretty much all over, so I did it for a brief second and slowed down.

Bro i think he was being sarcastic...

To the OP... not sure where you did your 150MPH... but hoping no where near a busy freeway... I am from Los Angeles area as well but when i speed i speed only when im on my way to vegas. cause usually i am by myself and no one on the freeway with me...

I maxed my 2008 M3 out at about 173 mph and have yet to top that in my 2012. There are others in my car club in Germany that have done over 200 mph (speedo) in there M3.

nineonenine · 07-02-2012, 09:05 AM

I think I could reach 225 but with these 20s and 8 inch drop, yo, I don't think I should. But damn, my car looks so ILL. PHOTOSHOOT TIME!

iamcpap · 07-02-2012, 09:19 AM

I think I want Warp 9 in mine. I couldn't tell, lights were just streaming past like shooting stars. Pretty sure my Matte Black side gills are what pushed me passed Warp 8... I think I may add an M sticker to my dashboard to get me to Warp 10.

What do you guys think? Should I call IND and get the Warp 10 dashboard sticker? I hope they are in stock...

I hit 184.111mph at the Dade/Collier airstrip when we used to run the Florida Mile there( that was the afternoon when they do the 1.5 mile run). Speedo said 202 but gps confirmed the real speed, That was FUN!

info@trinityautosport · 07-02-2012, 10:59 AM

personally, 150 mph at auto club speedway in fontana, ca

rdollie · 07-02-2012, 11:01 AM

In this country that can only happen on a track (many a yahoo thought they could drive any speed they wanted if they went to Montana and found out the hard way about the need to read the small print.)

172 but I did it through a suburban neighborhood and school zone, so that's like 2x the points right?

tibra1 · 07-02-2012, 12:36 PM

I think the most I've done, is 125mph in the M3 IIRC, it was on a public highway which is why I held back.

persian54 · 07-02-2012, 04:53 PM

I hit speedo speed of about 150 at Auto club

but when I was in mexico, I was able to go faster than that

Nicname · 07-02-2012, 04:57 PM

156 in the farmlands of P.A

Xx__xs · 07-02-2012, 05:00 PM

Maxed out going 161 mph (on speedo) on the way to Vegas. Empty freeway, 3 am. inb4 dangerous. Yes it was. Felt no different than going 120 mph.

Oh and my top was down. Doesn't get scarier than that.
