I've hit about 110-115 before I caught traffic and had to slow down. Haven't tried to go faster since then. If I remember right the top speed is supposed to be around 122mph or so.
i've hit 210kph in mine, then i slowed down because one of my control arm bushings was rattling around, but mine is not stock either, that is prob around 120mph

The 325e 2.7 is an economy engine that revs lower than the 2.5 Best speed I ever saw on my 325i was about 138 @6100RPM speedo reading 143. The 2.7 should manage about 128 130+ I would imagine
