Hello together Everyone knows that in Japan all cars must be locked at 180km/h. Therefore, the tachos of Japanese cars usually go only up to 180km/h. Many of these vehicles I have seen in my holidays in England and Cyprus (in GB the km/h-tacho is left inside and calibrated on mph, the “km/h” symbol is stuck over with an “mph” symbol, on Cyprus driving quite normal Subaru Legacy, Mitsubishi Galant etc. with 180km/h-tachos around). On the website vo n BMW Japan, however, you can see interior images of the new 3 Series, where the speedometer is marked up to 260km/h. However, legally, BMW is also obliged to lock up at 180km/h. Does anyone know whether BMW actually installs 260km/h speedometers, although the vehicle is only allowed to drive 180? Do the Japanese BMW drivers need that for their ego? 🙂
