It's all based upon the limits of the tires that were shipped on the vehicle. Unfortunately for those that had all-season non-run flats, there's no way to remove the limit via coding.
BMW NA said dealer that I got car from can code or raise limiter for me. They owe me a favor so we'll see. Not the end of the world either way
Let's hope so. We all need the ability to drive 155 mph!
Well I actually live about 15 minutes from the race track club braman uses. So yes for track days I was interested in more than 130. Don't need it in the quarter mile track they have, but main track could be used
