Top Speed limited with Xdrive?
I recently broke my 1500 miles break in and tried to open it a bit on the Autobahn. I have ZSP which has the increased Top Speed Limiter but cant do more than 138 mph @ 5000 rpms. Am I limited because of the suspension?

I think it is your 17" rims/tires. It is my understanding that you need the 18" wheels for the increased speed limiter (155 MPH).

Cost at point of order: $300. Sorry for the bad news. But 138mph is quite fast too....

You are all very right! I went to the stealership today and it took a bit of work (they speak very little english and know nothing of american spec) but we came to the conclusion that i have the all season tires which sets the limiter. Thanks for the help guys

I did turn it off. No difference. I was on the open Autobahn on a sunday. Germans don't leave the house on Sundays.

tires: factory set 130 for all seasons and 155 for summers... you can put summers on them then go ask the dealer to up the limit.. they'll probably want $ as usual..

They said they would do it now but I would have to pay Euro. I don't need to go that fast anyway. Just wanted to make sure I got what I paid for.

X drive, traction control on, 18" 162's and summer tires and you will do 155 no problem.

I do drive on the autobahn to work everyday. Cruise control is usually about 110-115. Its only a 10 mile drive and its very open. Only wanted to do it once but couldnt. I figured i paid for it i should be able to do it. Dont really care too much anymore now that i know what the problem is.

Have you ever driven on the Autobahn? 200km/h is completely normal and hardly even considered fast. I was doing about 220 once, just cruisin, and got absolutely blitzed by a Cayenne Turbo S followed by an M3. They were probably doing close to 300 km/h. So awesome

Anyone try top speed with the Stage 2 ECU Dinan upgrade? It is supposed to take off the speed limiter, so I was told by the Dinan guy. I've only had mine up to 145mph, that was before the ECU upgrade.

Last I checked the Autobahn was in Germany. I assume that is what he was referring to. I've driven on the Autobahn many times and honestly not everyone is running 200km/h. I would venture to guess that the average speed in the travel lane is closer to 140-160km/h.
