Why is the car limited to 130 and is there anyway to change it? Brand new - picked it up two days ago.
Had I know the performance all season would limit the car to 130 I wouldn't have gotten them. I paid 600$ extra for the performance 19 inch and another 500$ or so for adaptive suspension that comes with the tire package. It doesn't say anywhere when you build the car that it would be set so low. The car is a masterfully crafted speed machine and yet they don't list it anywhere that the speed will be limited. It hits it in mere sections. I understand the tires are rated for that it seems and now information online is saying it is an undoable factory setting. Anyone have any experience with this?
You live in NJ — isn’t 130 mph enough? Buy and flash a tune that will remove the top speed limiter, assuming one is currently available for your ECU. This will void your warranty, but allow you to go as fast as the car can go. I have used Dinan, Epic and Bootmod3. Some 2020-on BMW have ECU that may need to be removed and sent away to be unlocked before they can be flashed. Piggybacks may or may not be able to remove the top speed limiter. I have used JB4.
how is that gentle break in going? "Why is the car limited to 130 and is there anyway to change it? Brand new - picked it up two days ago"
The top speed is limited to 130mph brcause of the all season tires.
