I think the answer to your question is yes. It is called City Collision Mitigation. Maybe that means it will work only under city speed.
Driver Assistance Plus package includes: - Active Blind Spot Detection - Active Driving Assistant - Side and top View Cameras - Speed Limit Info According to the official standard and option list on page 6: - Active Driving Assistant includes Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, Pedestrian Protection and City Collision Mitigation |

Driver Assist is a waste. The side and top view cameras are useful, but only if you're frequently parking in tight spots or pulling out of streets with obstructed side views. You can actually get that option separate from the Driver Assist package, but only if you get the Executive Package.

BMW’s exclusive Active Driving Assistant systems consists of multiple important features – Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning, City Collision Mitigation, and Pedestrian Warning. The Lane Departure Warning registers lane markings with a camera and gently vibrates the steering wheel if you drive over them without signaling. Frontal Collision Warning can actively apply the brakes at speeds under 10mph or reduce collision severity by pre-filling the braking system at higher speeds. The third feature, Pedestrian Warning, is a two-stage system that consists of an acute audible and visual warning on the iDrive screen that also pre-fills the brakes. All that means greater peace of mind ahead. From BMW's website (for the X5) Forward Collision Warning prevents collisions by warning the driver when approaching a vehicle ahead too quickly. The driver is alerted by an optical warning and an additional alarm. In addition, City Collision Mitigation prevents collisions by automatically braking, even at speeds of 37 mph or more. Pedestrian Protection has the same functionality but specifically prevents pedestrian collisions. Since the M4's description doesn't say what the City Collision Mitigation does (except that it has it), I hope the City Collision Mitigation in the M4 does the same. |

It is my understanding that ZDA safety systems in the package interfere with Radar Detectors. I left out the package explicitly for this reason. I am also not comfortable with Active Braking either. I had a situation backing out of my garage in a Mercedes with the system and the sensors went nuts backing out. The second time I guess I was moving too quickly backing out and the car just slammed the breaks on me even though nothing was behind me. Its just a tight squeeze on the sides. Anybody have any experience with this?

I read about that as well. I think for V1 with POP, there is a way to turn it off. I have a 10-year-old V1 and it doesn't have POP. So hopefully my V1 won't go crazy.

My favorite feature on the m5 is the active assistant which sends pulse waves to oncoming traffic that if you've ever texted/dialed and drove (lets be real most people have sent at least one or dialed a number manually) if you get too close you get beeps that let you know you're coming up too fast on an object and is accompanied by not only a picture but a noise that will override the speakers so even if you've got Juicy J turned up to 100% it'll drown that out when you're getting too close. The red car in this picture I snapped means I'm too close and driving too fast for the object in front. I have found tremendous value in 3 of the options DAP provides. |

Lol that's exactly what my sales agent said, I wanted the executive package for the cameras alone, I find it hard to believe bmw can't make a backup camera standard on a $60+ Car. My 2013 accord coupe comes with all of that already(backup camera, lane departure, front collision, lane assist camera) |

Skip driver assist package? not for many.

So if the ability for a system to tell you without stopping wither you can fit into a spot and show you the curbs to prevent the inevitable wheel scrapes is invaluable for those in my location. For those of you that are burbites or country folk, skip this option, otherwise, it is an awesome feature for really cheap. |

Accident Avoidance Systems in my BMW ///M4
I could NOT agree more with both of your comments. The system really comes in handy when you live in crazy areas like New York City. A place where you're always in traffic or just seconds away from traffic. Last, but never more oblivious, are the pedestrians with their heads buried in mobile phones.
I use it constantly in the city. It has saved me several times from minor to major incidents with NYC taxi drivers, pedestrians on their cell phones walking across on RED lights, and rats the size of small dogs. The vibrations in the steering wheel absolutely kick you in the face and say, "wake up stupid, you're drifting out of the lane or you're going to hit someone so slow down". Totally worth it if you live in the described areas or have a really short attention span when driving. It Last edited by philsM4; 07-06-2016 at 02:00 PM.. Reason: Typo |
