Can someone verify…….
When you are exceeding the speed limit and you have this box checked (see photo) does the exceeded speed shown circled on the right display in red???
I had a loaner (cant remember if it was an X5 or X3) and when I exceeded the speed limit, the numbers went from white to orange/red. I tried to duplicate this on my F95, but the numbers stay white. |

I noticed the same thing. On my wife's x7 and my x5 that I traded in the number use to change to red/orange when over the speed limit.
My x5m doesn't change when going over the limit.

looks like the M50i has it. Does your I drive selection menu look like this?

Why BMW still has the option to activate it, who knows. No doubt they are to lazy to change the coding for it. |

I was asking about the X3 and X5. Thanks for your input. I know I saw the numbers go red on the loaner, just couldn't remember if it was an X5 or X3. When I got in my F95, i activated it, but couldn't get it to work. I thought something was wrong with the software but thanks to you and others here I learned its not active on the F95.

Same here...no COLOR change...it just blinks for a moment and then stops. I went through a number of settings when I Bimmercoded my car for stuff I cared about and I don't recall seeing the option to activate this...but then I wasn't looking for it specifically. The blinking is enough for me....it causes me to glance and then I'm over it...

Like many have stated already, I can also confirm that my X6M shows the warning, but the color doesn't change, while in the X540i, the warning turns red / amber in the HUD when over the speed limit.
I surmise that BMW understood that ///M drivers will most likely be traveling faster that the speed limit ( even if it's 2 MPH over) and didn't want to have that visible que causing the "mental stress" most red colored warning lights are designed to induce.
