Track Handling Package comes with 18" Pilot Sports. But it doesn't SAY you get the increased limiter, as that is included in the Sport or M-Sport specifically. But it stands to reason that the Track Package would get it too. But we all know BMW's reason is not necessarily ours! Lack of it would not stop me, I will only get to use the extra speed occasionally for a month.

Of COURSE I plan to go over 130mph in Germany, if the car will do it. Since an unlimited N52 328i will top 150mph on 230hp, I presume that a 228i will as well, with no limiter.
