    Not sure if this has been posted before but thought it'd be interesting for those who haven't seen it.

      Have you found a source for the EBA guides, it looks like this access doesn't have that.

            Creme de la Creme; a Limited Edition (1 of 19 if you're SB, 1 of 38 if SG) of a Limited Edition (422) and didn't know it? Startling revelation of the best kind :supz:
            Although there is no mention of what this actually means, anywhere, that I can find!
            In the absence of anything else, it probably means you can blow your engine easier by not having the limiter fitted, as you'll have a higher top speed and Rev range, I would assume never having put mine to the test.

            Perhaps one for NZ_M3, giraffe or gorilla chip in on :notworthy: and enlighten us ignorant owners.

                  Did you think it meant that the redline rev limiter had been removed Neil? :smt046

                              It was only used for transport purposes. They switched the battery off for both battery life and safety. When they turned up at the dealers they disconnect them and throw them out.
