Speed Limiters on Non EU E90s?

At bmwusa.com and other (related) sites I read about 325/330s being limited to 130 or 140 mph. Is that correct?

Having driven about 1000 miles I tried the thing yesterday. 255kmh (158mph) in 6 was 'nothing' actually. Not like the former E46 330i which felt astmathic beyond 230kmh(140mph)

The E46 M3 was another story though, that one always kept on flying towards 275kmh(170mph) in 6 before the engine was 'shut off' kindly

This car is great. Beyond 5000rpm it feels and sounds ALMOST like an M



Edit: And this sunday we're about to go to the Nuerburgring-Nordschleife(where the E90 was born actually ) to try it.
Pictures will follow after that(I hope )
