German automakers BMW and Mercedes-Benz often take a lot of heat from Porsche and other supercar fans for being stuck with a top speed of 155 mph. As we recently reported, there are several options for removing the electronic speed limited from your BMW “M” model, including from BMW itself. We found a great video that proves that this is not only possible, but also very effective. The video shows a de-limited BMW M6 taking on two high-powered sport bikes. We can’t really crown a winner since the bikes probably were not giving it all they had, but it’s still entertaining to see an M6 hit 205 mph (330km/h) any day. The video can be seen after the jump…

hehehe… the video is shot in portugal… road is familiar… this guy was being an idiot though… if one of those bikes wiped out… i don’t mind speeding — but you do it when you don’t risk anyone else’s life but your own… that means when you’re alone on the road…

It´s in Portugal alright, and don´t mind the bikers, they are there because they wanted to, and yes they were giving it all, what happened when the 1st bike appeared left of the M6 and then went back again is a known aerodinamic effect. This car was going FASSTTT, nice all went well (at least it seems so), sure hope that guy knows what could be done if anything went wrong!

the bikes were definitely giving it there all. they just couldn’t keep up. bikes have really bad aerodynamic coefficients compared to cars. they can out-accelerate a car anyday, but when it comes to top speed, cars are still king. especially when this particular car can break the 200mph barrier.

I must say, this is one of the most superb bmws ever built. At that speed, the car did not even shake to such an extent compared to other cars. In terms of the physics behind it all, the M6 has alot more torque then the bike, thereby enabling it to move at persistent speed. The bike “takes off quick” because, there is less weight being pushed by a low powered motor. Hence, the bike was RIPPED APART!!
