Curious about top speed reached in an F10
I'm interested to know how fast anyone has gotten their F10 going?

I realize a lot of people haven't received theirs, or are still breaking them in.

Anyway chime in on your top speed reached.

I was thinking around 200 mph as well.

It will be interesting to see if it's top speed is any higher than the e60 M5.

I have hit 155 mph on the track, then ran out of straight ......

The car still had more there before the limiter.

I would have thought it would be as fast as the e60 give or take a mph or two, BMW advertised 205mph for the e60 even though it was restricted 155, if the f10 is significantly faster I gusse BMW would have used that for publicity, it would be any thin special enough for them to claim it's 1mph faster, nor will they use the top speed for ads if it's less.

I thought the unlimited top speed on the F10 was expected to be lower than E60 due to gearing/redline. I never got the limiter removed on the E60 and never found it to be an issue on the track or the open road. Took it up to the governor on lonely roads in Mexico once (168mph-ish indicated speed, IIRC). Never got close to that on ANY track.
