Ive got an 04, it went all the way up to 160 before i let off. The red was flashing but it wasnt bouncing on the limiter yet. It was a fun night. Me and two other guys (one in an e46 m3 and another in an e36) all did top speed runs at the same time. The e46 showed 179 before he let off and the e36 did 154 (its chipped).

You of course have to factor in speedometer errors and such, but yeah we were all haullin major a$$.
i coulden't imagine going that fast!
