My 2000 540iA is electronically limited to 155 mph. The cars delivered w/o Z rated tires (eg non Sport 540's) have lower speed limiters.

The aftermarket chips relieve the speed limiters in most cases.

I'm looking for a 850 CSI or 850 6 sp. Anyone interested?

Tks,

John

My co-worker is doing a European delivery of a 2000 540i 6 speed and apparently that one will be getting a 138 mpg speed limiter. I guess it doesn't have Z rated tires.
