Fastest you've driven?

What's the fastest everyone's gone in their E92 M3? I had read that it is electronically limited to 155 but I know for a fact this is not true... at least not on a 2011 model with the Competition Package... So what's the fastest anyone's done in theirs?

This issue has been covered many times. All of the threads I have read seem to support that "true" speed of all US models is indeed limited at 155 though the speedometer may indicate a speed higher.

170mph on a stock 2011 E92 ZCP on the autobahn. My speedometer was reading 170mph when I hit the limiter.

I promise you I know for a fact that it is not electronically limited to 155. Again this was done in a stock 2011 M3 Coupe w/ Competition Package, 6 speed manual transmission...

Why don't we spice this up?

M3: How fast have you gone in an M3? Was it on the street or track? How many speeding tickets have you had in it?

All time: How fast have you gone in any car? Was it on the street or track?


My anwsers:

M3: 90 mph, street, 0 <--- no tickets in 3 years
All Time: 232 mph, track

I do not condone breaking the posted speed limits, so I would never comment on any illegal driving, nor was this posted to illicit any such conversation. I was just curious what the fastest someone has driven a stock M3, as I had previously thought the car was electronically limited to 155.

250 km once on the highway with 2011 ZCP DCT stock and that was it. I just wanted to see how it feels to go that fast. It was me and my friend who drives an e46 M3. He started it and I followed him. By the time I looked at the speedometer I was like holy sh*t 250km. It didn't feel that fast. Instead it was really smooth and nice indeed Fortunately no tickets phew .
