Hi there, first I gotta say that BMW is going to be awesome. That has got to be one of the meanest looking cars. I've heard one at a track, they sound so pissed off(in a good way). What are you doing with the motor? I hadn't heard anything about MBUSA getting rid of the kills thread, what is their reasoning?

So you obviously didn't click the youtube link...

That can't be legal can it? Seriously if the ACLU wants to make themselves useful for once they should get on this....

A. It's fake.
B. Even if it was real, it wouldn't be called Police Odometer Detection. The odometer doesn't measure your speed. That devices is called a speedometer.
C. Like someone posted on the video comments, it's most likely an Ipod connected to the aux input that is displaying the track title, which the user created on his computer and then put them all in order in a playlist so that as he scrolled through the "tracks" it would look like that message scrolling through.
D. How would something like that know that the top speed wasn't done on a closed track? GPS? i doubt it.


Move on....

Actually they can, and have with a court order. Normally reserved in only extremely serious accidents where fatalities are involved. It gives the vehicle telemetry at the time of impact.

Like someone already pointed out, it's using the iPod input. That would seriously suck out loud for about everyone here!

Actually, the "black box" that everyone talks about is integrated into the ECU programming........in every car since 1996. Good luck driving around without your ECU.

In addition, the vid is a fake.
