It's under Nav -> Click on Car Data then switch up and go to limits. 08 iDrive is so stoopid.

Anyone on the west coast want to help me retrofit to 09+? Will hook you up...

Why would anyone else drive your car unless they are married to you.

Well, the e93 has 0 trunk space

So when I needed trunk space, I would need to borrow my dad's van, but he would still need a car.

Also, sometimes his van wasn't available so I had to take my brothers S class (huge trunk), and he needed a car.

No choice

LOL...or your wife starts on your case!
I set mine at 95mph...if you get clocked at over 100mph in the UK you have a high chance of getting a short driving ban!

I set mine for 100, and stive to hit triple digits everyday. I don't view it as a warning, but rather a reward!
