JDM vehicles have the self imposed limit of 180k, do Jap assembled E36's also share that limiter? Pure curiosity here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, these are both indicated speeds. Both were Jap spec cars so I highly doubt they have a speed limiter.Must be the M Sport model.

fuzyfrog 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) Who said its standard... As for the speedo being out. I dont doubt its not accurate above about 220. I also have no doubt that the car will do 150mph with ease. Edited May 25, 2010 by fuzyfrog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
