With my 2021 X5 M50i, this is no longer the case. The button to enable "Steering assist" is the same button that is used to enable cruise control (which, you can then set to two modes -- distance control or assisted driving). Steering assist (and all other functions enabled by that button) is then disabled when the brakes are pressed. This post covers it (and shows the buttons): https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1686569 And, to be perfectly clear here, this is not the lane departure warning feature that is part of the Intelligent Safety system. Man, I promise I am just trying to learn here. I am no expert, but dang, I feel a bit beat up and bruised today. I promise I am the first one to admit my mistakes, and if I am missing a button, or setting, or something glaringly obvious here, please let me know ;-) (ducks for cover) |

The car does not control the steering without also controlling the speed/distance. The converse is not true. You might not actually be making that point, so apologies if that is not the case, but that is my interpretation. |

My car is running 03/2021.40 software. Has anyone spoken with BMW about this to know if it can be recalibrated at all? My car has to go in for another issue next week and I'm wondering if I can get anything done while it's in? |

ACC Sudden Deceleration
I have had my 2021 X5 45e do a strange thing several times while driving in ACC without steering assist. While driving on a divided, non-freeway highway with ACC (speed and distance control) on, when I signal and then change lanes it has rapidly slowed down for a second or two in the new lane before accelerating back to the set speed. This has been with and without a car ahead in the new lane. I have also noticed at times a split arrow displayed on the console like it's telling me it doesn't know which lane to be in.
I'm not sure what I am doing to trigger this rapid deceleration, but I and the car coming up behind me do not appreciate it. Any ideas or suggestions? |

Does driver assist recognize traffic lights?
Hey guys,
I have been testing out the driver-assist pro, which is pretty awesome but I notice one thing. When in traffic, it works fine but if I am behind a vehicle that makes it through a red light, my X6 does not seem to detect the red light and continues to accelerate behind the vehicle in front. So I am wondering if there is a setting that needs to be enabled or if traffic light detection is not supported currently? |

I had a G30 (2017 540i) and I was able to activate ONLY steering assist (on top of always-on lane departure warning/assist) and I enjoyed using it when my hands are sometimes busy. This is consistent with what M50iMWGuy mentioned, that an older X3M has it but no longer on the G05. In my current G07, I too find the standalone steering assist no longer available and if I had known it (that BMW has gone backwards), I would not have picked up the G07 at all because the car I traded it in (a Genesis) had it as a standalone and I continued to use it. |

As I've noted on another thread, you can "fake it" by activating cruise control with steering assist, then manually reducing the cruise speed (via buttons on the wheel) to something significantly lower than you actual speed. Since cruise with steering assist will not disable with additional speed/throttle, this will effectively give you just steering assist (although if you ever brake, you'll need to hit Resume to re-enable). It's a pain, though. Personally, I've found that the disengagement rate, combined with the "random swerve" rate, while both not super frequent (maybe once an hour for each with current software), are disconcerting enough that I generally don't use the system. I find there's more tension for me to worry about reacting when the system "goes nuts", than the tension from actually driving the whole time. Plus, with the way it's designed, you need to make fairly constant and significant steering inputs anyway even if the system is engaged, or it will disengage in a dangerous manner, so you're stuck babysitting it anyway. All in all, for me, this current generation of system for BMW is just not very useful/good at all.

Here’s my observation in a 45e with DAP.
The lane keeping assist works without the adaptive cruise control. It does seem to only come on above a certain speed (35-40mph, sorry didn’t read the manual), and there’s an indicator in the dash, top left corner. It will perform corrective action when it detects the car is crossing the lane. Pressing the “steering” button on the steering wheel will activate adaptive cruise with the lane keep assist as well |

What other manufacturers call "lane keeping assist" (or other names) BMW calls "Steering Assistant" (owner's manual, p250), which requires cruise control to be active (see Requirements, p251). Unlike in other vehicles (including perhaps previous BMW versions), there's no way to have "Steering Assistant" active without also having cruise control active.

I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that the system also will start to slow down if you are using the car's navigation and you have a highway exit approaching.

interesting discussion. I will test my 45e tonight for this. And also compare to my father's Subaru Eyesight system, which I kind of think steering assist can be on without ACC.
IIRC, on other car I have been using, yes, it is definitely possible. In Toyota Camry's (lousy & dangerous) system, steering assist can always be enabled (setting in menu, not button). Kia's version also allow steering assit without ACC.

It’s interesting because I use google maps for nav. And I can see the screen layout behind the directions in the virtual cockpit display, it just doesn’t show my vehicle or any other. |
