I have a 2019 with DA+ package. I've driven a DA package X3 loaner and wished I had my X3 with DA+. I use ACC and it is nice I don't have to deal with slide down of traffic.. Though I do wish it was more aggressive.
As for the safety feature, it did save me from a major collision with an idiot breaking hard to a stop in the freeway just because they got confused and wanted to not get on a carpool interchange ramp (idiot because he was carpool and didn't realize the ramp goes to the same place as the other lane but drops you off on to the car pool lane of the other freeway) Any case the X3 braked hard for me since I didn't notice they braked hard. |

I ordered DA, and the stand alone ACC option. The DA has emergency stopping assistance under 37mph, and I am always on my brakes before the car is (aka, I would not trust it to make a full emergency stop, even though the system is designed to). Seems as though a lot of this is just geared towards some driver inattention, which is pretty rampant in the US.

Just got a slightly used 2018 M40i with MSRP of 64k and noticed it doesn't have Blind Spot Detection...
For a bit I though I just didn't turn it on. Went back to the car, looked, pulled up the manual and finally realized its an option. Holy crap, pretty much every car nowadays comes with blind spot detection included..what up with BMW making this an option at $54k plus..stupid IMO |

Sharing an article from Car and Driver with details. I’ll warn you, as the article mentions. Setting your mirrors this way is definitely disorienting at first, but after you get used to it, you’ll never do them any differently. https://www.caranddriver.com/feature...d-blind-spots/ |

In cities we have a lot of cyclists, they "filter", this means they switch in and out of traffic, often on the kerbside. I'd need to be able to see down the flank of the car to check for them....I'll try it out to see how it works.

I'd have liked to spec the DA+ pack. But it's so expensive on a lease. Almost 10% increase to monthlies with vs without. I do low mileage and have survived decades without them.

The Driving Assistance Package kept me from hitting a pedestrian a few days ago. |

I have ZDA (Drivers Assistance Package) which contains :
ZN1 (Active Blind Spot) ZN4 (Lane Departure) Do some ZDA cars have additional features? |

I'm not convinced that you need driving assistance aids but I did have an interesting experience today when leaving the M1 to join the M62 motorway, as I left the M1 onto the slip road the traffic was stopped dead and the car decided it was going to stop itself, full screech of tyres/brakes and hazard lights automatically popped on.
The power of those brakes (M-sport) is really something, brutally efficient. I was going quickly and believe I could have safely stopped myself but the car ended up stopped about 15ft away from the stationery traffic in front! I don't have any of the additional driver assistance packs just the M-sport brakes option. It's nice to know that the auto braking safety feature is built in as one day I might really need it. |
