With stock tires, 235/40-17, and stock redline, 7,250 rpm, the max speeds in each gear are:
1=40mph
2=67mph
3=103mph
4=139mph
5=172mph

This is with the 3.91:1 rear end that came stock on the 91 M5. I have confirmed this in every gear except 5th ;>)

cheers,

Dave

PS: if you have access to EXCEL I can send you a gearing calculator or point you toward one at bmwe34m5.com


Hello, I've been looking in to a 91 M5 or 95 540i and would like to know the max speed in each gear. Thanks,
Ryan
