Valet mode ?

Does anyone knows if there is a "valet mode program" so when you give the car to a valet the car has limited power, that way they cannot over rev or drive fast our cars ?

I recall some other BMW models had something like it.....

I don't know about X6 (about to pick it up in a few weeks) but other models I owned came with a valet key which can only start a car but can't open a trunk or glove box.
I am interested in such valet key if it exists; you get a power from only 2 cylinder or no turbo with a valet key.

That's exactly what I was talking about.
Some way to make the car just run at very low speed....

Most of the tuning company has that option when I was modding Audi, I was able to switch the files through the on board computer. It would be nice if we have the same option on our iDrive, with a 100oct file

I never valet park anymore , had too many bad experiences.
And yes I wish BMW would get with the putting a lock on the glove box or center console.
There is really no where in the car you can actually lock stuff up.
