BMW Assist

AltecBX · 12-03-2007, 11:58 PM

I usually put my 335xi over 110mph at times. Would the system tell BMW, when it sends them info about the car that I've been driving that speed and get me in trouble with the law or not warrant my car in the future due to this kind of driving.

?

team_exe · 12-04-2007, 05:02 AM

most likely not. on my LS i have the Lexus Link system which is about the same. and hitting over 130 has not gotten me into any trouble.

nagge · 12-04-2007, 05:35 AM

No it wont void your warranty, geez...

Also, who's to say you didn't drive it 110mph on a airstrip or whatever?

AltecBX · 12-04-2007, 09:26 AM

Well, they know since it has a GPS installed and they know where my car is at all times. That's why I'm asking these questions.

raleedy · 12-04-2007, 10:17 AM

They build the car to go up to 130 (or with ZSP 155) and then they're going to void your warranty for doing it? I don't think so. But don't over-rev. That will cost you.

You are not serious, are you???

AltecBX · 12-04-2007, 11:24 AM

lol. Yea I'm serious. You think they check the revs too?

alexckma · 12-04-2007, 12:32 PM

they cant check your revs from the GPS....

they can check your speed and calculate the revs (approx) but it wont be all that accurate

Bimmer335i07 · 12-04-2007, 12:52 PM

Just like someone else said, these cars were made to go fast. Have fun and enjoy your car at 110+ mph! Just be safe out there.

ezatnova · 12-04-2007, 01:08 PM

I was doing 70 in a 65 zone the other day and the SOS button started blinking. The BMW Assist lady came on and said to take the car immediately to the nearest dealer and hand over the keys. :sad0147:

I'm pretty sure the OBD will capture over-revving for the warranty police. So be careful with those downshifts, you MT drivers!

that's true! so my point only works for GPS

In any case, you don't want to over rev your car anyway.

I didn't go pass 5000 rpm in the first 6 months (breaking into the car)

That happened to me as well. Couldn't believe it. Watch out guys.

BoomerM3 · 12-04-2007, 04:02 PM

If you are so concerned about getting reported, why don't you just slow down?

Gort · 12-04-2007, 04:30 PM

You haven't by any chance recently rented this movie have you??

don't BMW engines have electronic rev limiters to prevent over-revving the engine?

AltecBX · 12-04-2007, 06:00 PM

My question is I don't want to bring in the car for repair if a cylinder or values are shot cause of high revs or constant high speed, and they say they cant repair it becuase they knew what I did with the car.

oscartheclimber · 12-04-2007, 06:07 PM

This ain't a police state - yet!

LEDZEP · 12-04-2007, 07:40 PM

I'll bet you're one of those people that blows past me on the highway (while I comfortably have my cruise control on) and then while in front of me, slows way down in the EZPass express lane... GOD I hate that!!

The EZ Pass transponders do not alert the cops if you're going fast, and neither does BMW Assist.

I hope that when you are driving 110 you have plenty of open road around you.

I don't know about your neck of the woods but I'm fairly certain several of the toll collecting entites in the NY tri-state area measure speed and that people have gotten citations for going too fast thru a toll lane.

if it's a manual or if you put the gearbox to manual (paddle shifters)

either way you can over rev... I think.... didnt try, don't plan to
