Exactly. Of course riccappa doesn't get the 228i in the UK, but for the US:

On the M235i, PSS's provide the 250kph (155mph) speed governor, A/S will be 210kph (130mph).

On the 228i, the standard summer RFT's are 250 and the A/S are 210. The Track Package will add the PSS's too, so there will be two 228i options for 250kph governors.

Also, the 153mph recorded top speed is standard BMW practice where the cheaper cars are usually slightly slower than the more expensive cars. It's been normal that a 1/2 is usually capable of 153, a 3/4 is 155 and a 5/6 is 157 while the M's are usually in the 159 range, even though they're all officially governed to 155. You wouldn't want an embarrassment on the Autobahn.
