Speed Limit Display
It seems Speed limit Display is no longer a standalone option for G30. It seems it can only be got as part of a package (Driving assistant or so). Could somebody re assure me that I was wrong?

Given that my car has enough "camera" to control the intelligent LED headlights, is it wishful thinking to suppose that Speed Limit Display could be enabled simply by coding? Presumably it can't need any additional hardware.

Given that the database for this (The camera is a backup to account for temporary speed limits and recent changes) is included in everyones car already it really is incredibly frustrating how Speed Limit Display is a cost option supplied with a complex camera.
Meanwhile, a £99 TomTom has Speed Limit Display.

It's standard on the F48 we bought recently so I would be very surprised if it isn't on the G30
BMW's literature can be misleading as it indicated that we needed the driver assistant package to get the camera based speed limits... However thanks to this site I managed to discover it was a standard feature in the UK, my sales assistant was amazed when he tested out the theory on a F48 without the driver assistant package before I dropped this option from my order

I had a chat with the BMW 'genius' at my local dealership when I ordered mine last year. Speed limit is only available with that pack. I couldn't believe it either.

Keen to see what the @The Beast says, might be a miracle... without this the Satnav is so hamstrung, and not much use (as well as the missing speed cameras, but I know that's a whole other topic)

Therefore in my original post I was stating that I'd be shocked if an X1 would have this as a standard feature and a 5 Series have it as an option... The speed limit information appears on the head-up display in our car, or you can toggle through the BC button on the indicator stalk to have it displayed in the screen between the speedo and rev counter if you don't have the head up display. To check that it is speed camera based and not navigation based you will notice that the car will respond to variable speed limits on motorways or to temporary changes in speed limit at roadworks. Failing this I would seriously be looking into whether this can be coded if it's not standard, as you have said the car already has all the cameras required for this option
