250km/h is top option with the BMWs? Expecially here in Germany a 265 or smth would give you the advantage over all other stock cars (AudiRS, Big Ass Mercs, to name a few brutes limited at 250...)
Btw: A 335i with 155mph limiter runs 165-ish according to speedo.

You can set your own limit, the picture only shows the standard pull down options.

It is really too bad they are doing that. It will limit its use all together. Most will just wait until flashes on the BT become available rather than pay another $500 to do simple things like this. At the same time, if they offer it in the enthusiast version then they could generate a lot of buys on that version. Seems like bad business model.

But it's coding. Coding is another ballgame and it ain't simple! The enthusiast is priced perfectly for those who want to clear codes, shadow codes, datalog, perform routine maintenance (such as coolant flushes). You really can't beat it.

I know Just updated the software and will plug it in later today to see whats up. I am just going to set it to 280 km/hr (that last thing on my speedo)
Have you actually done it?? I don't see myself actually verifying it worked for a while as I have no where to get over 250km/hr in a safe way Mike |

Having basic features like this only available on the "professional" package is going to prevent people from buying the BT all together. It's not like $300 for a cable is cheap. It's limited to 3 VINs on the enthusiasts version. I thought the main difference would be the limited VINs so a bunch of people don't share one tool. Business tactic like this will only encourage people to buy one of the copy cat tools that will undoubtedly become available soon. |

Guys/gals - we are all driving pretty damn expensive cars - is several hundred dollars for a tool really that bad? Any DIY'er should be comfortable spending money on tools. Sure its pricey but imagine the development time invested into this product. FYI - you can purchase the "Pro" cable without the accessories for a little bit less - but you have to ask for it.

Heck, I want a I/C that will guarantee AIT temp drops under the conditions I run. I still haven't found any takers.
