Finally, BMW got the message. BMW is removing the speed limit of the new M5 and M6.

It's about time owners of these machines can take full use of the 506 bhp these cars provide.

Some buyers in Europe started returning the cars to their dealers or traded them in for Ferrari or Porsche and complained a lot about the limiter, as they were easily passed at top speed by other lighter powered cars, such as tuned Scoobies, Mitsus's and even old type M3's .

Our local dealer already has two M5's returned by their owners to, either remove the limiter or sell the car as they were really dissapointed that the car reached the 160 so fast and gave the impression it could do much faster but then the limiter kicked in.

I don't know if they set another limiter due to the aerodynamic construction of the car. It was really about time though.
