Pass a variable to a model construct

My experience of this is only with Cake 2, so I don't know if it is possible in Cake 3, but if it is, please point me in the right direction.

I find myself writing model files which pass the same parameters to my methods!

For example

My "Settings" model might have:

public function getSetting($id) {

}

public function updateSetting($id, $data) {

}

Rather than pass the $id each time I call a method, it would be great to pass this once when I declare the setting, for example:

$Setting = new $this->Setting($id);

And then to call my methods, use:

$Setting->updateSetting($data);

Is doing something like this possible in either CakePHP 2 or 3.

Thanks
