Actually, if you freeze the video when the speedo indicates 340kph, you can see that the tach reads about 8500 rpm, which corresponds to a real speed of 320kph IF the tires are stock size.

The M3 has a final drive at 3.846:1 Which might make it possible to reach 200mph if the limited is removed, but its still would be a hard task. However who knows it if has the power or the aerodynamics to pull it off. the 190's sounds more realistic. Everytime a super car hits 200mph you always hear about it being done by some magazine or tester. Still havent heard anythign on the M3 hitting 200mph, Im sure someone will but 340kph, is very hard to believe consider the a bunch of other cars which are much faster then the M3 cant even pull that off. Insert your example here.
