I don't disagree necessarily, but what if you were in a situation where full power was needed? Say you made a mistake in trying to overtake on a two lane road and you need the extra power or it's game over with the semi coming at you? I think it's these types of liability concerns that prevent the mfr from limiting anything regarding the powertrain. Beyond that, you'll have numerous people complain that they paid BMW $70K for a car yet they can't use it to it's full potential, so I can only see legal issues preventing BMW frm doing this.
