"limit" warning light
Hello,
When driving at a brisk speed a warning light comes up stating "limit". Is there any reason for this warning other than I'm letting the M breath? Thank you! |

You can set a speed warning limit to sound at whatever speed you choose. Sounds like you exceeeded the limit that the alarm was set at. I have mine set at 100mph. You can deactivate it if you so desire.

When I first saw the limit option I thought it was the speed over the speed limit for the road you're on since I'd heard some new Mercs do that, and initially I thought that'd be a convenient feature if the data was there for enough roads. It took me a while to figure out that it was just a set number -- which makes me wonder why the default number is 6 MPH....

Honestly I read the manual before the car even arrived, but failed to connect the warning with that feature as I never set it up. I thought it was more a warning that had to do with breaking in the car or some kind of way to limit any liability for BMW. Yes we make a car you can go really fast in but we warned you as you passed twice the speed limit...
