Yeah - but it's sold with a 155 limiter in place... Makes it all kinda moot right?
yes and no. There are two companies that have defeated the limiter, though it's only availble through one atm.
What do they use to restrict the Z3s and 330i to 130mph? Is it something within the ECU? Any reason why these cars are limited in the US but aero limited in Europe?
