Jay, many thanks for your very informative videos! These new functions are not easy to understand before you experience them and some of them depend heavily on the traffic situation, kind of roads you have available when test driving the car, time of day etc. So it is extremely useful to see them in such a detail as you provide.
You can have driver assist + on while driving above 40 miles an hour as well you just have to acknowledge the steering wheel. What you are doing is called traffic jam. It’s so the driver doesn’t have to keep stepping on and off the break and accelerator.
*Actually IT IS AUTONOMOUS driving.* Adaptive cruise control is level I autonomy. Adaptive cruise with lane centering and no hands on steering wheel and human monitoring is full level II autonomy. Level III is all the prior and no human interaction needed. In other words below 40mph the BMW is in level II full autonomy. Most systems are “near” level II autonomy because they require human interaction.
There is inferred lights that track your eyes to ensure you watch the road. The point is it is much less stressful when you don't have to brake, accelerate, or steer (under 40 mph).
Thanks for the video. With the driver assistance professional package , will the car steer itself if going faster than 40 mph? Also, what is the difference between the standard driver assistance pagkage and the professional package
Over 40mph the car will steer itself but you will need to keep your hand(s) on the wheel. You are able to take your hands off for a few seconds before prompted by a yellow light and audible prompt. The Plus mode, under 40mph, allows you to be hands free, very useful in highway traffic, but it does not kicks in during city traffic jams, you will need to keep your hands on the wheel, the car will do the steering and stop and go on its own, very convenient too.
So, this isn’t on by default? I’m configuring my next car right now & I don’t want a warning every time I exceed the speed limit. Any tips on which options I should avoid? I also just like to get into the car & head off - not have to go into the settings to disable a bunch of settings first. Any help is much appreciated.

That’s auto hold not driving asst
“you can’t just fall asleep and expect the car to go where it’s going” 😂 😜
You should mention the car will pull over and stop if it believes your sleeping a great feature discovered by almost knodding out late one evening!
This happened to me in standstill traffic in tampa lol, I was possibly dozing off and it pulled over and beep at me like crazy. Great safety feature.

So, it's adaptive cruise control, and you pay extra US$1,200 - 2,000 for taking your hands off the wheel below 40mph on highway. Is that right?
And tesla fanboys be acting like other manufacturers like BMW don't have this tech in the first place, and that their autopilot is unique lol
Thanks and good video, helped understand better the packages that BMW has.
does driver assistance plus work with sunglasses?
Really good wee video, cheers!
It saved my butt today
" Outomatically " 😂😂😂
Man were getting sooo close to auto pilot! I cant wait for that day to come! :)
you still need driving assistance plus on top of driving assistance pro for adaptive cruise control, right?
Is this same Driver assistance feature on 2018 F80 M3?
Great explanation!
Which model/engine of the 3 series are you driving in this video?
M340i
Is this system actually realibile?
Finding a used M340i with this feature is difficult
the feature is just software. your dealer can have it turned on for $2500
Quality vid sir
1) How does it know if you're watching the road or not? 2) What is the point if you have to watch the road?

Amazing 👏👏👏
awesome!

@@cvrvidal Is this only with ACC enabled? Or can I control the pedals and still let the car stay centered with the steering?
@@turnerb531 If you touch the brakes it disengages the ACC. But you can accelerate while staying in ACC.

Its a single button. You'll live.
This is a 2022 you said 2020!?
Is this the same for the 2021 75i executive & professional package? I bought one yesterday & I feel like I need to take a college course on this lol
You didn’t buy one , you leased one!
You need spellcheck on the title.
Do you get blind spot and 3D view with this?
You can get blind spot and lane assistance without having driver assistance.
@@MrRover30 what option includes the blind spot assist? 05al, 05aq or 05au?
@@Venigo standard on all US models right now
I wonder if BMW will ever catch up to Tesla?
*when
Nope.
Absolutely...that happens at less than 300 miles when the fricken’ Tesla has to find a charge station.
I wonder if tesla will ever catch up to bmw's interior quality
Please, autopilot is just the same shit as this. Come on, don't act as if the Germans are dinosaurs...
Tesla FSD is so much better.
The people in this comment section don't know about teslas existence. So it seems
Looks like BMW PRO is as advanced as first gen Prius with Tech package.
Waste of a feature
