Hi.

Yes I can. The car will "choke" when it hits the limit, quite unpleasantly, so I don't use it despite some hope on it initially.

I thought the accelerator would go "tight" near the limit, but it does not (or do I have a "heavy foot"? ). So when the limiter is applied, I still have to watch the green dot on the speedometer to avoid hitting it.

The limiter looks useful if you go well below the limit, but if you wish to keep on it, it turns out just the old way of staring at the dial, which I actually do without applying the function. It looks nice but not much more than that.

Yet, when I drove a loan current 3 series, it's limiter felt more tactile with the accelerator, so there might be a chance you won't find it idle.
