When i first coded the limiter function i thought it would be really handy, but i never use it. Also i sometimes press it by accident which cancels the cruise control, so i'm going to uncode it when i get time!

It would be more useful if it would work in conjunction with the cruise IMHO.

the limiter can be useful under certain conditions. For example coming home round m25 abotu 9pm set it to 83mph and just keep foot down. Less hassle then cruise as when trucks / cars pull out you dont need to keep fiddling with cruise to reduce speed. But at least with the camera city on the m25 means no chance of getting flashed when you forget about one. I've been using limiter on wifes B-class for last 5 years it takes getting use to but a good licence saver

Is yours manual or auto. Will try it on mine next time on the M3. As still running in so been kipping away from kick down.
On an auto I expect cruise and limiter to be disabled if you kick down certain does on mercs and on previous auto BMWs with Cruise. So limiter as well I suppose one reason they have the speed warning feature in idrive. Got that set to 85 as well

I've used the paddles before but this time it was in anger Yes it was in Sport Not sport plus as it was 0.5 last night and wasn't risking the lack of aids Bloody hell its a different animal in Sport and using the paddles, and the way it just grips and throws you out of corners |

It's great on back roads with paddles. It does make you want to slow down just so you can slam it forward again. Yeah corners with xdrive are great I am sure you can get your mpg down to a better level |

The Range Rover next to me didn't think it was fun from the booth. He hoofed it and got about 2 car length before I put my card back down, then the blue bolt got in its stride and eased past Love that toll booth race! Last edited by SkyJawa; 11-06-2014 at 10:44 AM.. |
