At any rate, I can definitely see where tire selection would impact the speed limiter now.

If you
remove the
high-speed limiter, then you get the low-speed limiter, which limits you to a lower speed, since the a/s tires aren't rated for higher (and for liability reasons).
So I'm NOT opting for a/s tires and will buy winter rims and tires when I get 'er back home.
And besides, the BMW Canadian Price Sheets confirm that opting for a/s tires [2TR] "will delete [remove] STD or 100% equipment 840 [high-speed limiter]." That's a quote.
