Pretty audacious of the fellow. That's not a terrible trait to have, but it's one I'd just as soon a parking valet not demonstrate with my car. LOL
All the best.

BMW uses a limiting of the speed capabilities on cars they ship to prevent port workers from abusing the cars when they drive them off the ship to the PDC locations. It is called transit mode. As far as I know, customers cannot invoke this feature so ED customer shipments are not performance governed.
I would like to see a valet mode limited to 15 or 20 mph and 100 hp as an example that customers can enable.

I know a lot of that was due to the new parts system BMW has put in place and hopefully it has gotten sorted out by now. If you want to tear up a car and do a review on it, go buy your own. Or figure out how to let somebody use theirs with permission for your hobby. But, good luck with that. Otherwise do your bleeping job and just park the car. Almost everybody has ways they can abuse something at their job. It doesn't mean it is right or that you should. If you do decide to go down that road than be prepared to pay the consequences. |

If the answer is no, then I respond "I'll park it myself" The valet response quickly changes changes to "oh wait let me see if I can make space" Valet thought: (I want a big tip now) (moves old guys Bentley to the back of the lot) But I do always tip when I return. I saw someone tips $100 for valet to be upfront. LOL that's Insane. Most the time I even hate if its a busy place up front and people are near the car!

I have a very hard time understanding the thinking of those who think the forum overreacted or overstepped the situation or have sympathy for the guy who made the videos.

I think those who are sympathetic to the valet should find him and offer him a job, we get a jerk out of the valet industry and they can feel good about themselves. It's a win-win.

And other cars like the Vette have a 'valet' mode that limits power. It really shouldn't be too hard for BMW to implement.

Attention all joyriding valet attendants: don't post incriminating videos!

How about I pay to put my kids in daycare and pick them up to find that they have been left in a corner all day crying? By your response and attitude the kids fine what's your point? The point is the person pays for a service and expects their property to be treated with respect. It's not asking for much. How about you pay me to come look after your house, I'll pee all over the carpets and have them cleaned up after. Good as new. After a mortgage/house, a car is most people's most expensive purchase. I look after my house and I look after my car. If I'm paying someone I expect the same. |

oh man reading this definitely makes me mad knowing other valets out there do that. I had a friend who had his new r8 put in valet, then one of the guys took it out for a joy ride and completely killed the car, but he luckily had a hidden cam. -- was able to get that guy fired and able to provide it for insurance.
