This is obviously not BMW's doing but the EU.
If it turns out to be restrictive the I'm sure that it will impact car sales in the short term and have a big effect for manufacturers such as Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin etc etc.

I guess legislation like this should be challenged before the EU's Court of Justice
as they deprive average citizens of their personal freedoms. I don't say over-speeding is totally fine and should not be penalized in any cases, however there is no direct link between it and number of road accidents. I believe regular checks on drivers' abilities like time of reaction, logical thinking, etc., even more frequent with age, would help us all better than installing all those nannies in our cars. Cause its foolhardiness and stupidity or lack of driving and thinking abilities that kills in most cases.
