Thanks guys

Had a really good run yesterday doing Berlin to Hook of Holland in 5 hours (almost the width if Western Europe!), with two fuel stops and a best of 196mph. Liberating!

Now that you have the 190mph limiter and have experienced the acceleration to get to it, just as a matter of interest, what do you think the car would do if completely delimited? The E60 M5 was supposed to do about 205mph if delimited, I'd assume that the F12/13/06 family would exceed that, but by how much?
Trackday is open ended so will probably do in the summer.

The car was accelerating at approx 1-2mph every second at 190 in 6th. It still accelerated in 7th, despite that gear being potentially good for 250mph. I reckon the way it felt in the 190's, it would achieve 210mph+, but I doubt that'll ever happen until someone finds a way to overcome the 202mph limiter in the transmission.
