Electronically 119mph

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 2:29 pm

What would happen if I drive a 1992 525i to its electronic speed
governor?  Do I feel a big bang or the engine slowly lose power?  If the
engine loses power, what’s the top speed the car will go?

                                                        Thank you

  1. When I run into the rev limiter on my 325i it cuts off the fuel supply which
     causes the motor to abruptly cut out – it then catches again when the revs
     fall a little.  I would compare it to the exact opposite of what happens when
     your ABS kicks in and the pedal begins to pulse.  Your engine goes "vroom-die
     vroom-die vroom-die"  Sorry about the silly description but that’s what it
     feels like in words.

    Fuel delivery will decrease…the result is pretty smooth…nothing
    drastic.
