Young Driver Restrictions

[dusty22]

Does the M3 have a setting to limit speed / acceleration etc. when a young driver in the household is given use of the car; or is Valet Mode the only option?

You can definitely set a speed limit (under the Safety settings I think). I'm not sure if there is any way to limit the car to Chill mode though, it would be smart for this kind of use case.

"While Speed Limit Mode is enabled, the acceleration setting (Controls > Pedals & Steering > Acceleration) automatically sets to Chill."

Oh, that's interesting. When I had the overnight test drive, the car had the 85mph limit but didnt limit the acceleration. This could be a special setup for the demo cars.

The wording in the document doesnt clearly state if it is limited to Chill mode, just that it automatically sets it when enabled. Should be easy enough to test out though.

This should be in ADDITION to locking it in chill mode, not instead of
