No way, driving is not taken seriously here, Trucks are taken serious though. Go to Germany for a few days and you'll see the difference. And while your there drive a Smart Car.

This "Easter Egg" has apparently been around on the E46 boards for about two years. I heard that the "cheat" requires the "European Software" for the M3 to be uploaded and that the US market cars will not do it with the US's OEM software. I also heard that BMWNA is quick to void the warranty if you upload the European software.

So...I guess it's BEWARE. US owners might not get 14 freebies...

I liked it, but I'd still buy it with the 6-speed and the 19' pimp wheels. Take a look at Awais' new beemer. 8) 8)

Man who does it legally? do u HAVE to? i mean i did 155mph in a main road just yesterday and a friend of mine did 175mph with his M5 on the same road. i don't know the situation in the place where u live but we don't have alot of radars and cameras here, so we enjoy the full power of our cars. i don't know why u buy a ferrari when u get arrested just for goin over 80

There's no speed limits in Montana, of course there's hardly any paved
roads either, can you say Evo 8 heaven. 8) And also I thoght that in
some places out west there were no speed limits. In fact when the truck
drivers are driving out west they often go over 100mph, in an 18 wheeler
that is 8) .
