The software provides improved performance and driveability, as well as removing the top speed governor. Dinan's Software Engineers have re-programmed the "EML" or drive-by-wire system in order to provide the driving enthusiast with moderately quicker throttle response in the "Normal" mode, as well as more linear throttle response in the "Sport" mode for improved driveability at the car's handling limit. With the top speed governor removed, the car is now capable of achieving 167 mph in fifth gear; the tall sixth gear ratio provides a "theoretical top speed" of 201 mph.

The software also raises the factory rev-limit by 150 rpm (8150 rpm) in order to provide additional road speed in each gear, as well as improved performance driveability.

Is 201 really possible for the M3? i maxed mine out at 155/156 mph.. would like to know if anyone has this software upgrade.. and if it is true.. i wonder if there are/is an aftermarket guage that goes to 200 ?

Hi

Dinan software is very good but there are also other things that rases top end which are not available for sale in the US. I strongly believe that the 201mph is a Dyno result where is it possible because you dont have any wind resistance.

In real life you are looking at around 185-190mph

And you dont need to change the gauge because BMW speedometers are actually designed that the needle will pass the highest number on the scale.
