That looks a good option. It doesn't say it is ADR compliant, but assume it must be if the are selling here. Do you know if a 2" square receiver option is possible with the westfalia unit? My bike carrier use the 2" receiver - not a tow ball

Has anyone in Australia been able to get traffic jam assist working - ie: when driver assist is on and you stop in a traffic jam, the car will automatically go forward without touching the accelerator?

I read from an earlier reply on here that the laws around privacy in Australia prohibit the IR camera in the gauge cluster from being able to track your eyes, and therefore the traffic jam assist will not be able to work. I hope that BMW and the Australia Government can agree on allowing the IR camera to track eyes, and if they do, I expect it should beccome available through a software update. At least our Government has a good relationship with BMW as there are several BMW government vehicles. |

TJ_BMW - thanks for confirming.
I've had 2 service managers and the ex genius at BMW Melbourne tell me it is working in Australia! Anyone else having problems with this dealer? They don't even have a genius at present! Used to be the flagship dealer owned by BMW until they sold it off. |

Marcosg - thanks for your note.
My car will not proceed automatically once stopped behind another car. Can you confirm yours proceeds within 30s? Are you doing something additional to get this to work? Does anyone else have this working is Oz?? |

The IR driver camera does not seems to have any affect on the car's behaviour at all. I've tried sunglasses and blocking it completely with a rag. Nothing changes, even though the IR LEDS are transmitting. After 3 weeks of trying the driver assist features I think it's a pretty poor job. Looks to me like BMW has 'done a Boeing' and subcontracted the software development out to a 'cheaper source'. It needs a lot of work to be safer. I can't trust it. The system bounces or oscillates between white lines to the point of making my passenger carsick, it lacks forward perception, accelerates towards stopped vehicles and sometimes fights for control for no apparent reason. It did however save a motorcyclist's life when he came ripping up between the lanes at 120+ks at night and the BMW intervened to steer me away from him. Lucky bastard. The bluetooth-phone function is just crap. I could go on... |

Tracking my custom built order
Hi everyone, bought my first BMW in June and it was a custom build X5. The dealer emailed me last week and said the car has been built, he also told me the VIN, but no shipping details are known yet.
Is it normal to have a built car with no shipping details? And how long after the car is built would the shipping details be available? Looking forward to start tracking! thanks |

Delayed :(
Its been 2 weeks since my car was built and no shipping details have been released.
So I contacted my dealer today and was told that there has been a delay due to a factory fire at the South Carolina plant. He also said the same fire was the reason for the temporary halt of the M50d (https://www.caradvice.com.au/782029/...alian-line-up/). The worst part is he couldn't give me a revised delivery date I did a google search for the fire but didn't find anything. Does anyone else know anything? |

I recently got the software updated to 07/2019.39. With this version the Active Cruise Control (with Start/Stop) does NOT disengage after stopping and it resumes automatically without interventions. There does not seem to be anytime limit either.

Marcosg - that's great to hear and the first software update for the Australian market that I'm aware of.
Are there any other improvements in the software update? How did you convince the dealer to update for you? |
