Option #840 came as part of the full M-sport option ZMP(sport seats, steering wheel, alcantara roof(interior) and sport alloy wheels

Or... as part of the Sport Seat option ZSP...



ZMP option code: $1,300 (Miltary Sales price, in 2009) (can not be ordered with ZSP!) which includes

2MR 18" double spoke wheels #261M
337 M-sport pack, door strips in M, shifter & hand brake all M
481 Sport seats
710 M-sport steering wheel
760 Shadowline trim
775 Anthracite headliner (black)
840 Increased top speed limiter

the "other" sport option is this one: ZSP


ZSP Sport option $1,100 (mil price)


481 Sport seats
710 M-sport steering wheel
760 Shadowline trim
840 Increased top speed limiter



See my post #3 here in this thread...

Difference between "sport package" and "M sport package"?

You can check your VIN here for what options your car actually HAS....

Basically what I was trying to say is that it is possible that you simply were not going fast enough to hit your speed limiter. Regardless of what your speedo indicated... you (probably)were not going fast enough.

When I drive fast on the Autobahn... I mean faster than say 260 kph.... my foot stays FLAT on the gas pedal so long... that the vacuum reservoir runs out of reserves and my AC vents default to the defrost(safety mode). That is what it is like to have an Autobahn in your back yard. In the states you are lucky to hit triple digits for a few fleeting seconds. Not over here. And when I drive at super fast speeds... I can empty my fuel tank in as little as 200 kilometers - all 53 liters!!!

and this video when I first got my engine tuned - driving South of Stuttgart on the A81 towards Switzerland....
