Its why I put exhaust on it, dropped it and tuned it.

The car can definately pull beyond 155, my car is tuned so that affects its powerband. Hartge wont take the limitor off, they mentioned they have been unable to but I think its more like they dont want blown engines coming back. I have had the tach get in the red when accelerating hard but my 550i runs close to 50-125mph times of a non-tuned new m5.
so awesome! it's nice to see that someone actually gets to use their car to it's potential!

i rarely get to have anywhere even close to that kind of fun. enjoy!
