ECO Pro speed limit coding?

So I've gotten setup to code my car and I've been successful with everything so far. I was poking around in the menus and showing someone the new ride and I got into the ECO Pro settings and I noticed something odd.

The speed limit range in the settings is now 90-130mph. I've tested ECO Pro cruising down the freeway at 80-90 mph and the car calculates I'm getting nearly 37-39mpg...

The only coding I've done with ECO Pro settings is turning it off by default. I'm not sure when it happened, I've been adding new things as I find them or need them (LED's arriving in the mail), and I hadn't been using ECO Pro until I stumbled on this change. I know when I got the car the range was the normal 35-75 mph when I went through everything in the settings. Anyone know what settings changes this range?

you can set it in idrive, but 75 is the maximum, there's no coding to make it higher

Are you sure those numbers 90-130mph aren't actually kph? your maximum of 75mph looks like 130kph..

It is in mph, ECO Pro is active at 90 mph on the freeway (text is still blue on the KOMBI). If I floor it, or slip the transmission into sport/manual mode, the text becomes grayed out as you would expect in those circumstances.

When I set the limit to 90, and then go above 90, the text will then become grayed out once I go over 90 mph.

EDIT: I should also note that the "potential gauge" will max out now at about 50% when I set the limit to 90, and drops even lower when I set the limit higher.

That's strange behavior.. maybe a a code was set wrong somewhere.. try restoring factory and recode again?
