I definitely think 180 is possible...190 is pushing it, and I really highly doubt you will ever see 200 out of a 135i.

I have pulled 6,300 rpms in 6th gear in my 135i (tuned) that is about 180 mph!
It felt like there was much more top end. But I ran out of clear autobahn. Maybe when I drive to Munich next weekend (1er's meet @Welt) I will find a clear stretch of autobahn and take pic of my GPS/navi speed in kph.
The 1er guys say they can do 294 to 305 kph. I believe them. Marcel told me he has hit 305 kph in his 335i (tuned).
This video shows Marcel's SW mod to the speedo... when you peg the speedo out at 280kph the needle swings back to 120 kph and starts reading higher from there. SO far Marcel says 304 or 306 kph is the fastest he has gone.
(146-120= 26+280 = 306 kph) - but he doesn't get that fast in this video. I think he gets to just under 300 in this video
306 kph in a 335 with stage-III mods... verified by the car's iDrive.
