I'm betting he HAS the standard all-seasons. It's far less likely to come across an xDrive with summer tires than a RWD.

I'm assuming you mean you have a "Sport Line" car. It does not come standard with "sport tires" (summer tires). The summer tires are optional. You can't assume a Sport Line has the summer tires. |

I see that you live in Miami and have a Sport line. Did your Governor kick in at 130mph? I also have a Sport line 335i and I have yet to hit the limit and my fastest so far is 160MPH and I backed off but car wanted to go more.

235/35 R19 91Y – What Do These Numbers Mean? We are all pretty familiar with tire sizes, but few understand what those numbers represent, and also what the all that other writing on the sidewalls of your tires means and why it’s important. Tire Sizes Explained: 235/35 R19 91Y 235 is the tire’s section width (measured at its widest point in MM) 35 is the aspect ratio (the tire’s height is 35% of its section width) R stands for radial tire. If the R is not present the tire is probably a bias ply tire. 19 is the wheel diameter in inches 91 is the tire’s load rating that it can safely carry – in this case 1356 pounds per tire. Y is the tire’s speed rating. A “Y” speed rating is good for 186+mph or 300+kph. My car has the Pirelli Cinturato P7 all season 225/45/R18 91Y. 91y is the key factor its rated to 186mph. And my car is not limited to 130. If you dont believe me here ya go, sorry for the crappy pic but its at 136mph.

Governing rules on whether or not you get option 840 (increased top speed limiter)
Translations to codes in parenthesis General rules ZMM (M Sport Line) includes 840 ZSL (Sport Line) includes 840 Other lines do not Additional rules that modify general rules ZAS cannot be ordered with 840 (ZAS is All season tires, if you spec ZAS instead of ZPT (performance summer tires) on your sport line or m sport - no 840) ZLL and 2A4 will add 840 to the order (Luxury line spec'd with 19" light alloy wheels Double-spoke style 401 with mixed tires gets 840) ZML and 2A4 will add 840 to the order (Modern line spec'd with 19" light alloy wheels Double-spoke style 401 with mixed tires gets 840) ZMM and 2PP will delete 840 from the order (M sport with 18" style 400M wheels that are "not mixed" - i.e. same size front and rear - get no love) ZPT requires ordering 840 (if you get summer performance tires, you get 840) ZSL and ZAS will delete 840 from the order (Sport line with all season tires, no 840) This is from the 2013 ordering guide http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=691810 Additional rule not stated here that was enforced by the computer at time of order (i.e. I ran into this ordering mine), if you go with the 2A5 wheels (18" not mixed) on the sport line it will require ZAS (all season) tires and hence preclude you from getting 840 Clear as mud? |

I will say 130 is nothing for this car. It gets there effortless and is very stable. There is another thread on this forum and a few ppl have gone over 155 and some do say they get fuel cut at 155 and others are cruisers.

130 MPH has become trivial for modern vehicles. I would be concerned if a modern sedan of average power was unable to easily achieve 130, astonished if was unstable when it did.
Aerodynamicists long ago solved the floaty-at-100 MPH feeling common decades ago. Unless speed limited, all modern sedans of over 200 hp will easily and happily cruise at 130 MPH. Minivans and SUVs are stable at 100+ MPH. It's pretty amazing. In today's automotive world, top speed is unimpressive until 300+ KPH. Besides, any driver can accomplish high speeds as long as they have a foot to depress the throttle. |

I know the tires are rated for those speeds. I was refering to BMW's determination of who get's what. |

I agree 100% that the cars are certainly capable and stable. They have been for decades (BMW anyway). The primary concern is the seat to controls interface. Things happen pretty quickly at these speeds. Anyone without a solid understanding of the dynamic physics of car control can end up over their head in a real hurry. |

Oh and If I get the PPK, does this bump up the speed limiter to 155mph even if I dont have summer tires? My guess is yes because the tires are rated to 186 mph.

if you have all season tires, your speed limiter is set at 130. on the E90 you also would not get the secondary oil cooler.
