PDC with Braking Intervention

Can someone with a 2020 40i check their settings to see if they have the option to activate PDC with Braking Intervention? This feature is not available on the 2019s but scottjays has this feature available to him as shown in the pics he took. I'm trying to see if that is because he has a 2020 or if it is because he has an M50i. Thanks

From previous post, yes, my 2020 40i has the same options - 07/2019.53

It's (somewhat) more effective than I like too - I have just a few inches clearance on either side exiting my garage, and if you're going over 2 or 3-ish mph or better I would estimate, it will stop you cold. Used to it now, so I eeeease out of the garage, like parking the QEII, but I get plenty of visual and audible warnings.

I have X5 from Dec '18 and I have the option of enabling the Active PDC function. Unlike the pictures however, there is only information about braking when driving backwards (without sides).

The function appeared with the last update. And most importantly it works - e.g. when leaving the back of a parking lot.

Thanks. Some countries in Europe had it available from the beginning. Hopefully the 2019s here will get it also eventually.

Excellent, thanks. We will add that to the list of iDrive (and feature) differences between the 2019s and 2020s.

.55 here doesn't have it for the 2019s, fingers crossed it will appear for us like it did you.

I wonder if it is a difference in each countries regulations. Do you have extended traffic jam assist and auto lane change available to you?

I have a 2020 4.0i on .55. I have the option and tried it this morning backing out of the garage. Brakes stopped me in the driveway when I got close to some of the shrubs/landscaping behind me in the driveway.

Thanks. Seems like the option is working well, hopefully we all have it available in the future.

I have read emergency braking on 07/2019.47 but very sensitive, won't let me reverse out of garage. Shame it is buried in the menus as it would be useful to activate once out of garage

You could add it to one of the shortcut buttons.

I found if I go very slowly it will not activate. However when it does, a notification pops up. If you touch the notification or push up on the controller you will get an option to disable it momentarily. It reactivates itself when you take the vehicle out of reverse. As such I now leave it on all the time, despite it giving me the occasional heart attack when I reverse too quickly into my garage and activate it!

No any of that even if i have the professional package. worst, after .55 update each time i turn cruise control I get error: "cruise control route details inactive" and bmw doesn't know why and what it means
My car is a 2019

No such option on my 2019 X5 40i. I think they put all their development resources into the current production year car and previous years will only see bug fixes, not much of new features. Especially give that someone already mentioned here that 2020 comes with the different hardware: sensors and some other chips.

This is a good point. I’ve had to turn it off because it wouldn’t let me back into my corner at work because there is a shrub near. Wish it could be geo linked so would be off at work but on elsewhere.

When I did try it performed a very violet stop, would take some getting used to

We (2019's) should all complain to BMW NA. This is safety feature which is advertise and instructed in our owner manual and we deserve to have it.

This is pathetic, hell my Chrysler minivan has auto reverse braking. I got my 87 year old Dad the '19 X5 thinking it would be fairly idiot proof to hit something. I guess I'm the idiot now. He'd be better off in just about any other car. Grrrrr.

Yup. I never thought about it until I hit a pole while backing out in a parking lot. $8,400 in damage. There is a separate thread I started about this. Titalled “weeks for repairs.”

Yep. Pisses me off this is missing. It could have saved me a lot of hassle last month. I backed into another car that decided to park me in while I was idling in an unlit driveway. Zero question - if this feature was enabled on my X5, I would have avoided a lot of unnecessary headache.

My 2019 5.0 goes in tomorrow morning so this is not available on any 2019 in any country?
