I've mentioned in other threads, ASS is dangerous when parking in tight quarters. I have an antique vehicle that I park in my garage, in front of my X5. I have a tennis ball on a string that taps my windshield when I am far enough in my garage to not hit the antique - but I can close the garage door. It's tight - with inches to spare on either side.

With ASS on, the X5's engine cuts out as I inch the care forward toward the tennis ball and then the X5 lurches forward as the engine restarts. Super dangerous and unpredictable. I've had ASS turn on because I accidentally pressed the ASS button, gone into my garage with the stereo on (can't hear the engine) and missed hitting the car in front on me by millimeters after the X5 stopped, restarted and jumped forward. If I couldn't shut it off, it would be a deal breaker.
