I am in the US. I’ve only experienced braking intervention once, at driving speed going forward. Clearly it doesn’t work at slow speed in reverse.
Traded two 2018 Q7s, one with less than 2,000 miles and one less than 15,000, for 2020 BMWs. Took about a $50k bath combined and worth it, to me. Your mileage may vary. Going in reverse and trading out of BMW for a less expensive car may mean less out-of-pocket for you, but you will take a depreciation hit on a new car.
