M3 E46 speed limit by AGMC

[Ahmed.Sallam]

hi all,

just one question I have just bought a used M3 E46 the car is supposed to be originally from AGMC but i have reached the speed of 270 km that is above 250 which i know is by law the speed limitor on all agencies in uae right?

so is this normal for an AGMC M3 or should i suspect that the chip has been changed and how to check that?.

another question which might be selly since am new to the car how do u handle acurate parking in reverse in this car coz it needs to push on acceclator for reverse right?? am ready for some seminars if available ;):please:
:thanks2:

our M3s are limited at 275km/h which equals after calculating the error about 250km which is the correct speed limit .... if the car stopped going more than 270 or 275km/h that means it is limited ... if it passed 280km/h that means its chipped ..!

i don't think the speedo error is that high on BMWs :dunno: on average it should be like 5% if i'm not mistaken :)

the electronically limited top speed on my Z4MC was mentioned in the catalogue as 250km/h or 275km/h for M-Driver's Package.. i think all gulf spec M3s have the higher limiter @ 275km/h, unlike the US & some european countries :)

I was shocked to see my M5 crossing the speed limiter and touching the 300 km/h on the gauge, did it once, but never gonna do it again and I dont suggest anyone pushing the car to its limits.. :nono:

before reaching this highspeed limit i would recommend you master parking in reverse first ;)


on another note why would one want to reach this illegal speed anyways?

Stop being idols everyone! we all try to test our car's limit even once, we all know its not a good thing to do and is not legal, but we all do it anyways ;)

Now you SMGholic people give him the parking tips he aked for

hi all thanks for the replies and infos....

so what i get from this is that i need to do it once again and try to reach 290 to make sure my car is not chipped!!!

nabil thx for the support bro u really got my point:)

well am not a high speed fan myself i dont like to drive all the time above 200 but as nabil said i wanted to see the M effect i dont like to be illegal all the time but sometimes u know:rev:

now okay so if i want to check that my car is chipped how to do it without driving till 290??

the previous owner was like 50 something dude that didnt spend or drive the car too much so i dought he even chipped it but he mentioned that his friend did it so that got me suspecious

anyways guys i really like to learn my car potentials and learn how to handle it and the hell how to freaking park it..so if u got like meetings or gatherings or if someone have time i can have a crash course :bmw3: with him u ll do me a favour:please:
