S550 Emergency

I just found out the hard way that my 2010 S550 is Elec Limited to 132. Why? I had understood that it was raised to the 150 range is 2010. Anyone know??

It's a standard setting due to the fact that a lot of the S550's come with all-season (M+S) tires only rated to ~132 mph. I also found this out when my rental E-Class topped out at 132 mph on the Autobahn a couple of weeks ago. I did however find a setting in the menu to change that speed limit. You might be able to find it as well (not sure if it's in the US dash menu), but just make sure you have appropriate tires.
