It's turn off your parking sensor season.

Man. It's been snowing for 2 days and my car thinks I've had 87 near crashes and slamming into "walls". I just had to turn off the auto parking assist, which I miss because the one place I do park it's handy. (I have to manually start it up which is a small price to pay for silence).

I can't believe how bad the sensor is. I haven't seen it so bad on Lexus, Acura or Audi. Is this just a bmw thing?

I can't back out of my driveway without it going bananas, in any weather. It's very hair trigger.

Once I was driving in a heavy snow storm. When I stopped for gas, front license plate was covered in snow, as were most of the headlights. It was dark, so cleaning them made a big difference in visibility. Anyhow... the radar stopped working due the the snow, but it was fairly clear when I checked it - should be heated. But I didn't have any false alarms from sensors. Zero. MY18 30i with DAP, ACC and all that fancy stuff
