Have you taken your M3/M4 to its top speed?

Frank_NJ · 04-20-2016, 07:32 PM

In a place somewhere undisclosed I had my car up to 155MPH then backed off but I think it could have pulled more.

WWFit · 04-20-2016, 07:38 PM

Jumping on the freeway I rip it to about 80mph then don't usually go past that. The insurance is already expensive:-) looking forward to doing a track day to try out launch control and top speed

JAGOOD · 04-27-2016, 08:26 AM

It is hard to find the road but I have had my E46 up to 160 and will at some point take the new one up as well. These cars are designed for it. I couldn't believe how smooth the e46 was. Can't wait for the new car to come and try it out. Of course this was on the autobahn.

RAWM3EVO · 04-27-2016, 04:24 PM

My M4 made 188.7mph

I took the car up to 120 mph yesterday but back off. That was scary fun

Bonzer103 · 04-28-2016, 02:50 AM

I was rounding a long empty two lane curve and pressing it to see how well it banked (and an Audi A6 close behind). Trac control was on so felt power start to cut at 87-90. As the curve became a straightaway I floored it and she literally jumped to 130 in an instant. Immediately let off (wanted to be safe....i.e. Wanted to get a glimpse of the guys reaction in the Audi) but was too far back (and he was still trying). Obtained a much deeper appreciation for this vehicle after that.

There are a few publications that GPS tested the F8X top speed to ~163mph. Further, if you look at dyno runs done in 5th gear, most of them top out at 7100~7200RPM RPM, which also translates to an actual 163mph.

Because of speedometer error, you will probably read an indicated 167~169mph on the speedo.

I hit 148mph on my HUD between turn 11 and 12 at COTA...

Had mine done at GAD and hit 191 mph when I was recently in Germany..... 140 mph to 170 is about the same as a 991 turbo!!!

I check my speedo against a gps fairly regularly ( because I'm nerdy like that ), and The most optimism I've ever seen out of the speedo is about 4 mph in the 90 mph range. I've never bothered to check any higher, because... well... driving.

Done it many times, and a few times by accident. HUD shows 165-166mph. It gets up there easily and confidently.

No.

John Tanglewood · 04-29-2016, 02:43 PM

145mph and it had plenty of room to go more.

kami3... · 04-30-2016, 02:00 AM

266kph on the speed meter was max due to the speed limiter when I drove an F80 M3 on the Autobahn in Germany.

M4 LF · 04-30-2016, 03:24 AM

About 155mph on the autobahn.

Donger Kim · 04-30-2016, 04:29 PM

I got too scared, even on the autobahn. I don't regret it as I had my girlfriend in the car but if it was just me I would totally go for it lol

Barathon · 05-07-2016, 02:27 AM

Done on unrestricted part of Autobahn, I'm only at 267 km/h in the pic but 269 km/h was def the limit. I need to change the VMAX as soon as I take delivery on my new one.
