The X5 is rock solid at 130, and my 4.4 is stable at 140.
And it gets right up to 140, doesn't take 10 minutes.

The 4.4s do not have speed limiters, they are drag limited at around 142-144. The 4.6 and 4.8s are also drag limited, they do not have internal limiters.

The 3.0s have the 130 mph speed limiter due to the crappy 17" tires they came with.
There was an option for the 4.4i X5s to have speed de-limit, however the 4.8 and 4.6 have always been limited to 153
