Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. My 1 month old 2014 825i w/ Power Steering & has 40 miles on it has not gotten past 43 mph even going downhill. I have tried twice to put the pedal to the floor this week & the rev limiter engages & speedometer fluctuates between 42 & 43.

When I had access to a 2012 825i, it would reach 44mph on level surfaces & 47mph going downhill & I firmly believe that a speedometer on any recreational vehicle, i.e ATV, snowmobile, UTV-- is a "customer satisfaction device" & not always accurate. While I didn't want a Can Am Commander that did 70+ mph, it's nice to have things as they should be. If you have noticed this:


  1. Is it the computer limiting the machine during a "Break In" period?
  2. Have you brought it to dealer's attention?
  3. What have they said or did about it?


Thanks a lot folks.
