Thanks to OnkelTom for the pic!

I guess it's 7100 rpm in 6th gear!

Dwescription by the driver:

The Tacho Pic was taken on a straight autobahn part which goes down a long way. I need about 10 runs to push the M5 so hard that the picture could be taken. btw. I took the picture on my own ;-))) While testing the max speed on some turn I have a car in front or a truck was on the road ! This was absolutly luck to have a empty autobahn and also click the button of the cam in the right millisecond. After that I braked the car down, drove out to a parking place and looked after the pictures.

On plane autobahn I only reach about 6.800 to 6.900 U/min. But the needle of the speedo will stay at 320km/h from 6.600 U/min and don't move higher !

I also tried this with activated Servicemenu from Navigationsystem to have a look at the m/s speed. The highest I saw on the monitor was 86,4m/s !

If this unit is working fine and the speed is nearly okay it must be 311km/h !!! But think of the going down autobahn, this is not a right condition for testing highspeeds ;-)
