Speed Limiter - BMW Forum

I have a 1994 325i, and was wondering if it has a speed limiter and what the limit is set at?

i believe 155.
buy a chip for your ECU, and it is removed

you have ODBI, ODBII (my car) is limited to 139 (or somewhere around there, it refused to go any faster)

It's between 133 and 138 MPH. 155 mph seems too high. But yea get a chip and limiter is removed.

Exactly, reading is fundamental

With the exception of your OBD-II cars that seem wierd

All BMW's have a 250km/h limit. 250km/h = 156mph.

So non-us bmws have that limit regardless of year (well after mid 80's when it was decided to have the limiter)

My 1995 325i has about 150-155 limit. But yeah, chip you comp and you'll be fine.

I said that he has OBDI and that I know OBDII is limited to 139-ish. that's all the info that I could give out that I knew was a fact.

My 97 318 is is limited to 120.

jiggs · 05-11-2005, 11:11 AM

When would u ever get a chance to go over 155? 155 seems like a perfect limit to me.

Avlany · 05-11-2005, 11:14 AM

I did it on stand.

dutchbmw · 05-11-2005, 12:22 PM

The topspeed of a 325 is ~145 mph and the 328 tops at ~147.5 mph. When the car can hit at least 250 km/h (~155mph) and you want to drive faster the limiter will block the fuel and ignition. OEM 328's and 'less' can't hit that speed.

OK I don;t know where you get those numbers for most of you, but OBDI from BMW stock says limited at 129, a chip will take that off and the car can usually obtain 145-150 but after that it is out of rpms. This is for an american car in europe they might limit them differently, but this should answer the question.
