Top speed limiter - user configurable!?

The 130mph top speed limit for cars with all-season-tires has been discussed here in length. I recall someone even asked their dealer for a top speed increase. It seems like there's no need for that ...

I bought a M240i for my wife which came with Bridgestone Turanza LS100A. This is NOT the tire for this car. I decided to replace them after 600 miles with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 AS (which are outstanding btw!). After a couple of miles, I got a warning that the tires weren't recognized and that I needed to "configure" the tires myself. I could select the type (summer, winter/all-season) of the tire as well the dimensions. The last selection was the speed rating. Unfortunately, with all-season you can only select 100mph or >100mph (which I think means 130), for the summer however it appears that the limit is 155mph.

Anyone else tried that?
