No, they didn’t. Honestly, I think I know more about the car thanks to this forum than the so call genius. I don’t think they understood exactly what I mean by the corner lights. I’m taking it back Monday for the software programming. We’ll see how it goes. Like I said I don’t care about the wrinkles in the back seat, all the other nonsense in my opinion, things happen with technology, I have a smart home and it’s not 100% I get that. but the safety features they should have made sure everything worked before production.

Just look at the rotary shift selector lawsuits. Apparently getting out of a car and leaving it in gear is now a safety issue because the car can run over you. BMW acknowledged that obvious fact of physics.
With this issue, if you back over your over dog without the vehicle applying any brake intervention while giving a full tone audible warning (standard in about every low/mid tier car made now) BMW will be crucified in the press and be sued. It just takes one incident. Just ask Audi back in the 80s with their “sudden acceleration” issue. It destroyed their reputation for decades. Google “Audi sudden acceleration” if this is before your time and you will see what I am talking about. We all know this is really about personal responsibility but in today’s day and age that means nothing. Last edited by MystroX5; 01-11-2019 at 05:15 PM.. |

If you are talking about specific performance/lemon, perhaps but there are many steps to go through prior to being able to sue. |

I agree with turtle, you can’t sue, as much as I would like the possibility. First, when you enter the vehicle it tells you that you’re responsible for driving. It is not claiming to be fully autonomous driving. Even though they have to features to help you at the end of the day, you’re responsible.in other words, if something happens you’re responsible not BMW. Also think about it. Do you think if they would be responsible would they start production knowing they can be liable if something goes wrong. They have great lawyers looking at all the regulations.

I agree with that. Hopefully mine will be ready for pickup soon and would like everything to work also. Although I'm still not 100% sure what all should work when. I would be nice if BMW spelled things out more clearly in their marketing information as well as the owner's manual.

Edit: Here is one that is on youtube concerning frontal collision with City Mitigation in general, not specific to X5 but probably not any difference. |

Have we found any members in this forum that have had this system work. i dont know how to do it but perhaps we could have a poll. When i was a kid this stuff didnt matter to me as i just wanted to hotrod but at 65 and cant hear so well these items are why i buy so i dont have to live with hurting someone. Our q7 does this fine and reliable so i assumed a car 2 years newer would be better.

All our X5’s with all the packages only shows this. Notice no ‘with brake interv” on the iDrive7. Why is this not on our display? Especially when we paid for every option. No one at BMW will give any answers and acts confused. Call the genius up and they don’t have a clue other than their maser tech says it should brake automatically.

I think the “brake interv” is not coded in any of our cars yet but it should be according to BMW via manual. Can it ever be addressed in firmware update?
The genius answere is “take it to the dealer service and have them open up a ticket”. Ugh... My guess is they know it’s not in there and it’s plausible deniability with their low level Genius operators and tech. Last edited by MystroX5; 01-11-2019 at 09:29 PM.. |

Check this thread from the G30 side of the house. Looks like the G30 has this feature when parking.

I have the grand-kids tonight sleeping over so i am thinking of testing the collision avoidance tomorrow. There fast little buggers so they should be able to get out of the way if it does not work.

The grand kids got picked up before i could do a human test so i used cushions and different soft objects. i didn't get anything other then the sensors you hear while parking. nothing on the display and no brake assist. i was not going more then about 10 miles an hour.
