BMW 320i (E90) - 0-215 km/h Top Speed
I could've gone faster if the road wasn't so wet (it just stopped raining a few minutes ago), as water on the road surface creates more rolling resistance. And the car also ran on E10 RON95 gas, given the engine less power. Under a perfect condition I've been able to manage 220 km/h.

Ready for VANOS
What your cams should look like before installing VANOS. Also needed but not shown is the primary chain tensioner in place along with the flywheel locking tool.
Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (TOYOTA)
VVT-i, or Variable Valve Timing with intelligence, is an automobile variable valve timing technology developed by Toyota, similar in performance to the BMW's VANOS. The Toyota VVT-i system replaces the Toyota VVT offered starting in 1991 on the 5-valve per cylinder 4A-GE engine. The VVT system is a 2-stage hydraulically controlled cam phasing system.
VVT-i, introduced in 1996, varies the timing of the intake valves by adjusting the relationship between the camshaft drive (belt, scissor-gear or chain) and intake camshaft. Engine oil pressure is applied to an actuator to adjust the camshaft position.
