733i Tops Speed? or Speedo swap? (archive)

I was wondering if anyone knew the actual top speed for a 733i (1982 non-euro) Or did BMW rip us off and give us a car that only does 85mph while the 735 can get to approx. 140mph with an engine that is .2L larger.
Also if the Top Speed is above 85mph is there a way to swap the face and reprogram the movement so it is like a 735's Speedo....but with out changing the O.D.O. if possible.

Thanks ~ James
PS please email me.....I dont check back often.
