Jayhoath83 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 It hasn't. It's 4.4fd but has a relatively long 5th.Top speed is higher on the s9b. Probably 155mph on the right size wheels.I used to find my M struggling at high speed although it would top out 5th with enough road. The eg with a bit more power no problem getting up there at all.Also I don't miss the lsd at all either. I rarely launch the car and cornering is unaffected imo.well mine defo has an lsd but it would not go any faster than that it was hittin the limiter n my m8 in his m3 pulled away n that still is limited to 155 so now im worried its got an issue lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Speaking of speed limited beemers I've chased a 650i right on its bumper upto 150 odd then he backed off. You won't be on the limiter at 132 as mention previously by someone 4th tops out around 120mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhoath83 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 So what gearbox have i got then as i paid for an s9b but there is no case stamp saying as much. is there a chance theres the wrong gear set in it because trust me it wouldnt go any faster which really dissapointed me as ive always been told the could go to 150 ish really getting worried ive been ripped off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 That is weird there is usually a white bar coded sticker on the box for model number and usually some black print on the casing itself stating lsd and sometimes other info.So how fast are you travelling in 5th gear at vtec 4500rpm?I ask because s9b you will be travelling at 85mph. S4c or similar 4.4fd box your at 80mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
