I agree with the above posts, though. BMW set these parameters on purpose. While it would be cool and maybe useful sometimes, the overall risk and potential for devastating consequences outweigh the benefit, IMO.
Sorry this is incorrect. You need to touch the steering wheel at regular intervals even in the Traffic Jam mode. Therefore, Traffic Jam max speed has no bearing on the matter.

Only exception I've noticed is when you are under extremely low speeds (under 10mph in my experience) in motorway conditions (I.e. no chance of pedestrians), car will allow for hands off for prolonged periods.
