    Cool M Lighting

    I can't find a thread so I am going out on a limb with a couple of questions.

    1. In both the Z4 manual and the M supplement the pictures show a fog light switch next to the light switch knob. My car does not have one and I have been told "M's" do not have fog lights, True or is the control somewhere else?

    2. One of my Angel eyes went out and I noticed the center of the inboard lights do not come on. Is it supposed to? Is this controlled/affected by the angel eye?

    3. I have been able to get the car to over 160mph (indicated) on the autobahn, is the 155mph limiter just a wives' tale?

    4. When I activate the "Sport" button on the console I am not seeing a change. What should I expect?

    Where exactly would the foglights be if the M had them?

    The center lights are high beams, the angel eye rings are just around the inner bulb

    Your steering should get heavier and throttle response should sharpen up

    Did you note I said "on the autobahn"? Perhaps you might not respond to public posts "like an idiot" without comprehending the post itself. Don't know of any autobahns in the US....

    Just like all those street racing videos on youtube that happen "in Mexico" while driving past US street signs?

    AZ is a long way from the nearest autobahn

    He's likely a service member living overseas; we had our 2008 Z4 built and delivered overseas back in '07-08, so ours saw some time on the autobahn at speeds that would be unsafe anywhere here other than a track.

    Can't tell you much about lights as mine is not an M, and I notice a change in shifting in Sport mode, but that's because mine is a slushbox and the shift points are adjusted. That's all I notice though.

    I moved to Wiesbaden in August of 2017....

    Don't make assumptions a profile is up to date. Rather than lash out with uniformed opinion better to ask for clarification
