Firstly per the info here: https://www.scottsdalemaserati.com/m...a-maserati-go/
A Ghibli of whatever flavor is a 180MPH car. Your 230i is not a 160mph car, factor in speedo error. If you understood power + gearing + aero - you would understand why it would be inherently unsafe for any 2 series to travel @ above 160 without proper aero. I would suggest enjoy what you have, and get a lot of track time in to learn car control in a safe environment. Remember speed is not about pure power.

You are not a safe or good driver to be driving those speeds on the street.

No, there isn't, because highways in the USA aren't designed for that kind of speed. Want to drive at those speeds? Keep it to a track or the autobahn, which are constructed much differently than interstate highways.

The attorneys representing the estate of the deceased plaintiffs who sue the OP's estate after they are all gone one day will likely find this thread in discovery. If the OP has any assets, it won't be for long. As if we all needed one more reason to stay away from Florida these days...

To answer your original question, the 2-series are electronically limited to 130mph unless (at least for the 235/240) the car was ordered with summer tires, in which case the limit is increased to 155mph.
And I'm happy for you that you've yet to be pulled over or hit anything, but I doubt anyone on this forum has any respect for you if you think those speeds are safe or appropriate on a public road (I certainly don't). Driving a stretch of road every day doesn't mean jack; road conditions can change from one day to the next, be it deterioration, other hazards or other road users who are not as foolish. I just hope you don't take anyone with you when your luck runs out. And please sell the 230 and buy some POS so you don't take a perfectly good car out with you. For some background: A friend of mine in college was killed by her dumba$$ boyfriend who though he could drive his Porche the way you seem to think you can drive. His luck ran out one afternoon and he took her with him. Don't be that guy.

Why were you trying to race a car like that, anyway? You had to know you were going to lose. |

That said, even 155 is insane.
