Is it normal to have the top speed dial indicated to 320km/h? And mine even has the csi mirrors and front and back csi bumpers. But the badge is a 8501#i.
Is this normal?

In my car the last writing on the speedo shows 300 KPH but there is another mark under it that puts it to the 320 KPH limit.

Yes, the joke was intended but the VIN says it is a Euro spec car. Would that explain the speedo?

Aftermarket dials... There are only 3 metric speedometer scales used in the E31: 280 km/h (M60 840Ci only), 300 km/h and 340 km/h (Alpina B12 Coupé only). The scales run a bit further than that, but those numbers are the highest markings.

Well the dial is fairly factory looking, the exact same colour and material as normal clusters!
This is a bit odd.
