Anyone removed limiter and hit max speed

Hi All
Has anyone removed the limiter and taken m2c to max speed yet?

I've got limiter and it's not hard to reach it,
so I'm keen to hear on modded and stock S55 what speeds are possible

Is the 300kmh / 186mph mark achievable at stock...
(I'm sure modded that should be no prob at all)

Should be achievable at stock, the engine transmission aren't really the limitation IIRC, more so the lack of aero (and potentially tires) to go much quicker. Though don't know where you have long enough runway to hit north of 186

I hit 155 so fast in my car that I didn't even know it until I looked down at the speedo. That's why I'm leaving the governor on it!

I don't want to start a pissing contest, but my car would blow a M2CS right out of the water 😂.

BMW was comfortable unlocking it to 174 mph

I hit 181mph on the M4 quite comfortably but I'm having a hard time wanting to go over 140mph on the M2C

I'm guessing the M2 CS should max it out more easily so suspension work and perhaps some aereo upgrades could yield the same experience
