4bar wroteMine don't behave that way. When I switch lane, car will resume at previous set speed.
swainbmw wroteI've owned a number of vehicles with adaptive cruise and they universally go back to the set speed once it detects that there's no longer an obstacle in the vehicle's way.Not been my experience with other brands don't know about the BMW because I didn't order it because of what I experienced in other brands
I mean, that's kinda the whole point of adaptive cruise.
Be honest who hasn't done this?Is there a cone slalom course setting I'm not aware of?

Some extra cameras and sensors are required, but a large part of it is software.
I'm in the camp of "can't live without," but I also go several months where I don't use it. If I were taking a longer trip, I'd happily pay to have access when I want it vs. the $2k+ one-time fee.
As well, all X5s would feature the technology, so I trust this would benefit consumers and dealers. Nothing is worse than finding the perfect car, only to be missing an important option.
TurtleBoy wroteEmergency PDC braking must be enabled for it to intervene, otherwise it will go right ahead and smash into something even though the sensors are going off. It is not enabled from the factory.It is on by default. She can check the setting under Driver Assistance there should be a section for Parking.
