What's the REAL top speed of a 335i?

oddjob2021 · 09-23-2007, 07:02 PM

reason i ask is because i just realized, i shift out of 4th (into 5th) at 140MPH... so i have 2 more gears left?!?!?! maybe i dont know much about cars but... what does this mean if the top speed limited was removed? how fast could the car really go?

How did you redline at 120 in 4th and yet the OP was able to squeeze an extra 20mph out of his?

leftcoastman · 09-24-2007, 11:14 AM

You can pull the gearing data from BMWUSA.com and do some calcs and this is what you'll get:

1st: redline (7k rpm) max speed 40mph
2nd: max 68mph
3rd: max 105mph
4th: max 138mph
5th: max 164mph
6th: max 189mph

Note that the gearing is for a 6MT and also doesn't take drag into account (which applies to 6th gear). This is the theoretical max speed for each gear.

with my comptlely stock car i have seen 165-170mph (268 km/h) on my speedo i dont now if its the real speed.

i was very surprised when i went over the 155mph (250km/h) supposed speed limit.

dagjohnsen · 09-24-2007, 05:22 PM

My guess is 275-280 stock without a limiter.

HS tuning says 299 with their 360 hp tuning.

Anyone have an idea?
