Ok thanks. That is not a specific mode of the cruise control but rather a feature of the cruise that was just introduced. I don't think we have any feedback yet on what it does or how it is working.

I don't know if you have seen anything on Genesis' new cruise control but it learns your driving style and then mimics that. Evidently instead of using distance ratios you can have it learn how you usually drive in various conditions and then the cruise will mimic that.

"Automatic adaptation of the distance Depending on the equipment and national-mar‐ ket version: the system can be adjusted so that the distance is automatically adjusted within the configured distance level according to the traffic situation or the ambient condition, for instance poor visibility.

What it comes down to is that the system does not work the way it does in our 2019 Audi Q7 - which allows the lane keeping/assist to engage without cruise control. In my experience, this feature reduces fatigue when highway driving without cruise, it is too bad that iDrive 7 does not support it. I owned a X3M for a short while last year and IIRC, it also supported this configuration. Oh well. |

I test drove a 21 X5 with it to see how much I'd like it. While it's cool feature to show off (like the gesture controls), I couldn't see myself ever using it. To me, it was just another thing to go wrong and cause dash lights while never reaping the benefits.
I got a BMW for the driving experience, and knowing that a computer is controlling the driving does not sit well with me and not worth the "upgrade" Maybe if I was in constant traffic, I would feel differently. Or maybe I'm just a control freak who likes to be in charge of the driving |

It appears that the lane departure system - which is part of the safety system not the adaptive cruise system- does work to help keep you in your lane unless you turn it off in the safety menu. I believe the more robust lane keeping assist MAY be more robust because it adds using radar, etc in addition to the cameras for the lane departure system to better control the car for semi autonomous driving when ACC is on. I’m guessing that the different responses may be more likely due to experience with BMW cars vs other manufacturers like Audi, Infiniti, etc. I’m with you, having that safety of the car doing a decent job keeping you in your lane without ACC is a huge plus and I’m used to that with my current Audi and previous Infinitis. It just makes driving less fatiguing and helps if your attention is diverted for a moment. I believe the lane departure system as part of the safety system does this. At least hoping so! |

It seems like what you want is the steering part of cruise mode 2 (keeping you centered) without the speed control. That does not exist in any BMW as far as I know.

As I mentioned previously, I owned a X3M recently with iDrive 6 (albeit only for about 6 months) that behaved 100% differently than my X5 M50i with regards to how the lane keeping/assist operate. The X3M behaved exactly like my Audi SQ5, Q7, and previous cars with driver assist features - you could enable the lane keeping assist WITH the steering part (e.g. would steer you around a curve, etc) at any time, without cruise control. In the X3M, this is called "Steering and traffic jam assist", on pg. 214-217 of the manual. It does not deactivate when the brake pedal is pressed. This sort of behavior seems to be impossible with the X5/iDrive 7. I did confirm that the general "shake the wheel if you drift out of your lane and bump you back in to your lane" does behave as expected. |

Gesture control, even though is a cool feature, I abandoned it after a while because I realized that I am more of a hand talker and that use to create massive confusion with the gesture control I agree, the vehicle being in control kinda suck my life initially, but then the blood rush that I would get when the vehicle self maneuvers between two huge vehicles in a narrow lane would be priceless. I use it almost 100% of the time. I always keep holding the wheel gently and can sense the wheel moving under my palm.

Then you missed it because lane assist, steering you back into the lane, certainly works without cruise being enabled. As mentioned before, you are expecting a feature that doesn’t exist. I suggest going to your dealer and have the genius explain the systems to you. Your description of the X3M is likely also incorrect. Last edited by TurtleBoy; 01-06-2021 at 03:45 PM.. |

On the X5, the Steering and Lane control Assist has one major difference between how it functions on the X3M - specifically, on the X5, the function is disabled when you apply the brakes (highlighted). This does not occur on the X3M. So, while I do acknowledge that it might be possible to engage the Steering and Lane control assist and not have ACC (although the manual seems to suggest otherwise - highlighted in purple), it seems pointless if applying the brakes is going to turn the function off. Again, I do understand this is not the same thing as the "Lane departure warning" function which is a part of the Intelligent Safety system on both vehicles. |

As far as the the bolded passage above, no one anywhere in this thread has stated that is possible. Saying things like that is what leads people to believe that you do not understand the systems. The Steering and Lane Control is mode 2 of the Adaptive Cruise and has nothing to do with the steering for the Lane Keeping Assist with steering. As stated previously, the lane keeping assist is only active when you are not using the cruise or when you are using Mode 1 of the cruise. The Lane Keeping with steering assist is enabled by using the setting below. Until you get a better handle on the Driver Assistance features it probably would be best that you don't use them as it could be dangerous to yourself and others. Good luck.

We are clearly talking about two different things. So, for anyone else reading this thread, I am going to summarize it in the event someone else has a similar question in the future. You are talking about the Lane departure warning feature (pg. 206 in the 2021 X5 manual), which is part of the Intelligent Safety System. This system works exactly as you've described. I am talking about the feature BMW calls Steering assistant (pg. 245 in the latest 2021 X5 manual). This system is also referred to as the Steering and Lane Control Assistant in older versions of the G05 manual (and even in the 2021 manual reference section). The first paragraph (Concept) of this system says: The system assists the driver in keeping the ve‐ hicle within the lane. For this purpose, the sys‐ tem executes supporting steering movements, for instance when driving in a curve. This is the exact same language used in the X3M manual for the Steering and traffic jam assistant function. Engaging the brakes disables this system on the X5. This same system on the X3M does not disable when the brakes are engaged. So, taking the long way around it seems, that is the point I've been trying to make here. My other recent vehicles, Audi SQ5/Q7, have similar "steering assist, drive you around a curve, etc" systems that do not deactivate when the brakes are applied. |

^ As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
For those still sticking with this, please ignore the misleading/incorrect/confusing post above. He clearly is still confused and does not understand how the cruise control works and the different modes that it uses. The Steering Assistant is the second mode of the cruise control and uses steering in addition to the adaptive cruise crontrol.

This must have been a separate function which was activated with a separate button. Do you happen to have a picture of the button that activates this feature on your M550i? That might help clarify it for others and avoid the dark path this post has traveled down. It's probably a moot point now as this option is apparently no longer a feature/option on the current generation of BMW X5/X7s. |
