Speed Limiter Removal
I guess I should have added a while ago:
Alex is able to do speed limit removal with just a code, same type of deal as when you code your windows to rollup or remove the startup warnings on the Nav.

Post a Vbox run to 190mph or it's bullshit. Or better yet, do it to my car for free and I will post the Vbox results. |

That is a youtube of a European car. I am a US car driver, my car is limited to about 160mph. European cars can make 196mph, this proves nothing.
I want a Vbox run of a US car making 190mph or it's bullshit, just like this. |

Like I said, I have ZERO incentive to try this out unless I find myself on a track.
As such, I am only telling you want Alex at Alpine told me he did.

This video does not prove anything! This car is European car and can have M drivers package (Euro only) which the limiter is 305 km/h (189 mph) instead of 155 mph! http://www.bimmertoday.de/2014/07/11...f80-f82-m5-m6/

I have no idea how its done.
Alex used the coding software he uses to code the other codes is how I think he did it. During my install, he ran into an issue where the car turned off while he was trying to write. Then I ended up with error codes while I was driving. He logged in and then said he had to give me a file with no speed limit , and that he could connect back in later when he had some time and put back my original file if I wanted. He told me nothing else was different, so I have left it this way. Will this affect my warranty in any way if I have problems down the line?

It is not possible I misunderstood. He called me on the phone and told me this. Also said I could go back to the original setup if I wanted. Was I lied to that this was not just a coding feature but a flash change?

Has anyone else had their speed limiter increased to 190mph in US with coding? Seems lame that we are dropping 100K on a car with 155 limit. I know how insane that sounds complaining about 155 limit, but I want to have the option of unleashing all the horses and maxing out on the track if I want to.
