: Max speed is limited by the computer. The 850Ci is capable for over 150mph and the 840Ci is about 150mph but the US speed limit is about 138mph in every BMW !!! I belive even the M3 and M5 are limited !!!

Lez, are you saying that the actual max speed on my 93 850 Ci (US) is 138 mph and not the 155 mph it says on the manual? Is there a way to bypass the computer controlled speed limiter?

Sure, all the aftermarket chips are free speed Lez 00:23 7/11/2000 (2)
