210 speed limiter

[gkaos]

Recently i bought an m42 from a 318ti automatic and fitted it in my e36.The problem is i have a speed limiter at 210km/h.Why is this happening?Is it because the engine was from an automatic car?Any easy way to fix it?I would appreciate some help guys..thanx...

Ummmmmm... I think you will find that no M42 powered vehicle will go faster then 213 kmh from factory, they are aerodynamically limited :p

wait, thats like 130mph

did you switch the computer? you might need to get a chip to fix it

Which computer? I use the ecu from the 318ti m42(it was a automatic though) My vehicle does not have trip cumputer if you mean that.Anyone has an automatic m42?Maybe they are limited to 210km/h

Some bmws came with a 130mph speed limiter, others a 155mph speed limiter. ECU software upgrades from reputable engine tuners (like Dinan for example) remove this limiter.
