Don't steer yourself because that cancels the action.

And do as you describe. It takes a bit getting used to find the correct point. A yellow arrow appears and the car starts steering.

Mine was delivered 12/2019 and it worked directly. Now o 03/2020 and still works.

TBH it works but I never use it. It is a bit less fluent than I would do my self. And it just takes time. For me it is a gimmick.

Lane change assist will work from the speed of 90 km/h. You just have to push to the resistant point once but not hold it; you just push (like when you do to pass another car; 3x blink) and then let it go again. However I find it more fluent when you change lanes yourself in assisted driving mode to pass another car and to change lanes. It will steer automatically again when you are nicely on the new lane.

Ok I'll try again I guess. Yesterday I was going on the E411 just indicating but not changing lanes all the time, I must have looked like a right idiot...

Mine wasn't working when I got the car so I disabled the function in the driver aids menu and enabled it again and it has been working flawless after that.
Used it a lot the first two weeks bit doing it myself again.
You need to start very early or it will slow down to avoid getting close to the car in front of you and will only start speeding up again when he completed to move to the left making everybody behind you have to brake too.

I only use it on an as good as empty highway.

I tried it several times on the highway when driving to Austria. I thought it worked but I guess it was me anticipating and slightly steering because I saw no yellow arrow. Assisted driving view is active and visible in the instrument cluster but no yellow arrow appeared.

How far do you have to push or hold the turn signal indicator? I just push until the point of resistance and then the turn indicator lights flash 3 times.

Try it by holding the steering wheel with your right hand, and just pushing the stalk with your left hand (not touching the steering wheel).
One you have done it several times, you can do it consistently with one hand.
The smallest steering action of your hands will cancel it.
You need to keep the stalk 'pushed' just before/until the HUD shows the initiated action. Bit tricky at first.


Feels very strange to cancel the process once initiated.
You start it to overtake a car, but the slower car switches lanes, so there is no more need to overtake. You use steering force to cancel the action, but the car swerves a bit because of that. Probably seems strange to other drivers around you...

My experience is that is does not always work. Sometimes it simply refuses to automatically change lanes. Never found a reason why. On a quiet night I drove for 5 min behind a slow semi trying to figure out why it wouldn't change lanes.

When it does work I find it too slow. It waits too long before actually changing lanes. Car starts to slow down because you approach the car in front of you, then it starts changing lanes and accelerates again. Found it irritating at times so I rarely use is.

Probably because the semi was doing 80 km/h and the speed needs to be over 90 for the system to work

So I need to keep the stalk pushed at the resisting point until I see the yellow arrow? I just went to the resisting point when the lights blink 3 times and I direcly let it loose.

Yes just to the point when you feel the resistance and keep it there for a second or two and the arrow appears in assisted driving view.

And as mentioned you need to activate the option

So once you no how to do it and you have shown your wife and kids how cool your car is you will stop using it because it is not practical at all. Just like automatic parking. It does the job but for now you can do it better your self.

But you want to know if it works off course and until you do you can't let it go. Just like me not being able to activate BMW points until I get home to activate my charging card that should be in the mailbox. And after that probably not using it anymore.

Exactly

Mailed the dealer about the sunroof that I had to reset already twice and 3d remote view that suddenly doesn't work anymore. I get the message that the camera system can't be activated. The mirrors unfold and then it stops. But it has worked!

Dealer said to make an appointment nothing more. I really don't want to go up that path that the car will be days in the shop for something probably software related. Or that they are beginning to change parts in the hope to resolve it. Parts that probably don't need to be changed.

I would start with the idrive update before they start messing around with your roof and inducing a leaking.

[Heavyd]

Tried 3D remote view again. I saw this message flashing by in the connected drive app.
Saying remote 3D isn't available in this country.

Then came this message and this stayed visible.
Saying remote service could not be executed.

So isn't 3d remote view not allowed in Austria?
Strange that the message also says or neighboring country

Is there an Austrian in the house who can confirm this

Sorry. 😜

When do you use it? Maybe there is a specific parking condition that car does a better job than I would?

With surround view and IAS and the passenger mirror folding down parking is quite easy.

Lots of Belgium forum members on 😎☀️holiday like me? Very quick answers.

[Heavyd]

Apparently no remote 3D view possible in Austria :

Whenever it offers I’m just lazy I guess and the option gets cheaper per use the more you use it

It usually does a well enough job but I agree you can do better manually.

[Caramel]

Same here: not a native speaker.

And no, I did not make that connection - but I really like it!

So, quick grammar explanation from non-native speaker to non-native speaker:

The indefinite article "a" (as in "I got me a X5 as big as a whale") turns into "an" if the following word begins with the sound(!) of a vowel.

Now the letter X in X5 is clearly not a vowel, but when you speak it out loud, it is pronounced like /æks/ or /eks/ in IPA notation, so it does start with a vowel sound.

Thus, long story short, "I got me an X5 as big as a whale" would be an awesome title for this thread.
