Note: Power Kits should only be installed on 135i and 335i vehicles equipped with option code S840 (increased top speed limiter – which includes an additional oil cooler).
I find this comment confusing, isn't the existence of a higher speed limiter based upon the tires on the car? |

Its great that they dropped the price! But I still think its pricey$$, considering there is no hardware purchase that is involved and the preproduction feature includes much more at the same price. I guess the only advantage against the other non-BMW aftermarket upgrade is the warranty is retained!!
My other question is.... What's the benefit of stage 2 with the "extra cooling", since there is no extra boost in the hp with it? I know that extra cooling minimizes power losses at higher/sustained RPM, so does that mean that stage 1 can be potentially harmful in the long run, if driven too hard?!?! Wonder how BMW will play this..

No idea, I was just answering the dudes question if speed limiter is related to tires, which it isnt.

Nice option. I have a dealership visit tomorrow and will inquire about this. Hopefully it wont matter that my car doesnt have an oil cooler.

Shoot, I've got a 2011 135i with no Sport Package (and no option code S840). Am I SOL? I thought the sport package was limited to seats and trim. I wish I had known there was a mechanical difference.

A 135/335 especially, shouldnt even be available without at least Sport. A 128/328, sure.

Is it possible to "piggyback" an aftermarket tune to this tune? That is some key info, I would love to know the answer too
