How can I go about adjusting the governor on a BMW?

Answer by  Amber40 (24961)

Well if it a mechanical governor then it probably will need removed and it will have to be mechanically changed or left out completely. IF you have an electronic limiter in the computer then all you should have to to is use a hand-held programmer and raise or remove it.

The governor on BMW is set from the factory at 125 miles per hour. I would require a change in the program of the PCM.

The best way to adjust the governor is to get the computer all set up and then you can turn it up to where you want it. Be careful because if you turn it up too high you may not be able to re-sell the car.
