What is the maximum real speed (GPS) on delimited M5 and M6? With the M Drivers Package it officially is 305 KM/h, but what about aftermarket products?

MDP is still limited but at 305 kmh. I guess someone with a delimiter only needs to jump in here, as most delimited M5's have a software remap with more power. My best guess is around a true 312 km/h.
