I'm with LeChef and others on this one....I call shenanigans...including the info being downloaded by bmw and sent off for analysis. First of all, your car needs to be in the shop in order for them to download....
In any event, can't speak to the EU, but I have ZERO doubts that this doesn't exist in North American vehicles. As someone pointed out earlier, if an individual were ever to dyno their bmw a few weeks after taking delivery and discovered that their vehicle had some form of limiter set, there'd be hell to pay....particularly around 'false advertising'.....
IMHO, bmw & other manufacturers mitigate their responsibility by telling the owner how to break-in the vehicle, via the owner's manual. If someone is crazy enough to red-line their new vehicle, it becomes their problem, not bmw's...or any other manufacturer.
