Your own post shows only a 4% error at 250kph and I don't see how my speedometer would be more than double the error of yours.
Use that VIN decoder to find out IF your car has option #840.

The speed limiter is a soft cut. It kind of tickles or runs out of steam. IF you didn't know the car has a limiter - you swear you just ran out of OOMPH.
