According to the AC Schnitzer guy here on the forum, more power will not do much good for the top speed, as it is limited in software.

If you want more 'power' (KWs and Torque) for accelleration, you can fit a nunber of after market chip tuning kits. If you have a look back though the posts you will find info on them.

Actually the 116i is supposed to reach the same top speed in fourth, fifth and sixth gear.
