      Yeah, the reason why they chose 55 mph in the movie is that was the max speed of the car (if i remember right)

      Also the way the doors opened were pretty inconvenient

        The flux capacitor is activated when it reaches 88mph. They had to add a digital speedometer because the Delorian’s only went to 85.

          That was typical of cars made (for US market) in the early to mid 80s… Can’t remember for sure if it was part of the whole national 55mph speed limit, but I’d bet it was.
