My 2012 X3 always "chimed" when I exceeded the speed limit. I did not have the "tech" package, either. Mine was delivered on February 8, 2011 (I've since sold it and gotten the F30, though).

My dealer got three new 3 series sedans today. One of them was a 335i and the other two were both the 328i. The curious thing is, though, that they all had the $575.00 option "rear manual side...
