Have you delede the vmax-limit or was ist done by a tuner?

No, I haven't deleted the Vmax limit, that's why you see the tachometer to 248 Km/h, that's the limit.

Thank you for your answers. I have seen a lot of stock video that goes a little beyond 250 downhill. By saying tacho I meant speedometer gauge. If there was a limit at 235 km/h at speedo you can't run at 248 km/h as shown in your picture. I guess you mean 235 km/h limit is the real speed and that corresponds to 248 km/h at speedo.
Altough PPK increase the power by at least 20 HP the car should go up to 260 km/h downhill in my opinion. I have also read somewhere in German forums that one e91 320d was doing 257 km/h downhill but after a software update in the dealer it was not doing anymore. I don't understand why this invisible wall is not mentioned somewhere in the datasheet. I have also some doubts that after PPK install and software update the car might have a limiter.

Thanks

Yes, I meant that you can see Max speed 248 Km/h in speedometer, which is actually 236 Km/h real speed (if I remember correctly).

Furthermore, Max speed in cars isn't measured in downhills but straight line, so there's no point on that.

Find a tuning company and ask for a Vmax limitation removal.

Dear forum members

I have ordered power kit for my 2011 320d LCI. I have read all the forum with google translate I have one question that was not clear after all vmax discussions around E91.

1) Is there a software vmax limitation for stock LCI 184 PS ? If yes is it because of tyre specs ? I have 205/55/16 standart tyres (V speed index). Is the soft limit based on real speed or tacho speed?

2) After the power kit is this limitation exist ?

3) I am not sure but may be the official dealer is going to update the software of the car before installation of the kit. Does it have anything to do with vmax ?

4) Finally is there a chance to negotiate with the dealer to delete the soft vmax limitation during the coding of the new ECU ?

Thanks a lot

Hello,

I have already installed the PPK on my E90 320d '08 320d (177HP) since 2010 and I can tell you for sure, the following:

1) The Vmax limit is not related to the car tyres, but the engine and the factory limitations. Furthermore, it's based on tacho speed and not real speed (it's 235 Km/h).

2) Yes it does exist, due to factory warranty limitations.

3) After the installation of the kit, a total software update will take place (it lasted 5 hours on my car). Again, not related to the Vmax limitation.

4) Probably not, because it's something out of factory engine limits, and if something goes wrong (break the engine i.e) you will blame BMW and ask for any kind of compensation. But of course you can remove the Vmax limitation by software encoding, outside of a BMW dealer though.

My car with the PPK reaches 248 Km/h top speed now, where the Vmax limit cuts the power, see the attached recently taken photo.

Finally, I've tested a same car as mine with an ECU remap+ DPF off and Vmax limit removed, and I reached 255 Km/h top speed on the tacho. So, you earn +7 Km/h only, not worth playing with the engine limits.

a 320d does not run into a limit anyway.. with or without PPK

Oh yes it does...

Marios, Robert didn't recommend a ..W-30 but a 0W-40. I prefer Aral Supertronic 0W-40 too.
Aral is a German brand of BP, who own Castrol as well. Same manufacture in Germany for all three
brands. They may sell the same stuff in Greece as BP or Castrol. Just look for BMW LL-04 approved
fully synthetic 0W-40 oil. If your car doesn't have a particle filter you're even fine with BMW LL-01.
I had a quick look on the data sheets of both Castrol Edge-Turbo Diesel 5W-40 and Liqui Moly Top-
Tec 4100 5W-40. They're ok, as they both meet BMW LL-04 spec. I'd still agree with Robert that a
fully synthetic 0W-40 oil like Aral Supertronic or similar is superior though. Higher viscosity doesn't
mean it does a better job at higher temperatures. It's only one parameter of many. I understand,
as often finally you need to get what is available locally.

Thank you very much for your detailed answer!!

My car has DPF so LL04 is necessary to use.

I'll try Aral Supertronic 0W-40 this time, as many of you recommend me.

PS: I didn't know that BP-CASTROL-ARAL is the same company!!

Ich weiss zwar nicht warum du 5W40 willst, aber ist doch egal was du reinfüllst, Hauptsache Markenöl mit LL04 Freigabe.
Ich würde ARAL Supertronic 0W40 einfüllen

Ich lebe in Griechenland und die 40 ist besser für unsere heißen Klima als 30 ....
