There ain't no governer on these. My all-manual 240D will cruise all day long at 80mph, and peg the speedometer at 85 easily and go a little faster.

If it had a different rear end ratio, it could go faster.

There's a real sweet spot right around 73 mph, where the sound of the engine is a pleasant humming noise.
