can't get driver assistance plus and cold weather package
that just seems silly! so what is it the heated steering wheel that isn't compatible?
I am guessing its actually the headlight washers, but then why not take that out of the package? and why can all other BMWs have both? The one feature I wanted for the X4 was the braking assistance because my wife is horrible at rear ending people at low speeds (twice in the last 2 years she has hit someone while in a turn, they start to go so she looks to her left at oncoming traffic while inching forward just to realize the person in front of her didn't actually go, and BAM). Yes its her fault but we also have some really bad drivers in the Chicago area (I was in the car for one of the accidents and the person had no reason to stop, it was a PRIUS!) |

Also the driving assistant plus doesn't help you in this case iirc. It engages under cruise control which your wife is unlikely to have engaged during the turn. You'd probably get the collision warning though so maybe that's helpful enough.
Disclaimer: I don't know if ot behaves differently under these circumstances but this is what I observed since I had it. (It's still a super awesome feature though). |

It was pretty interesting at a stoplight once a guy stopped and nearly was parked on my rear bumper. The PDC went off warning me of an "object" that was close to the rear bumper. Wish it would have warned him not to be an idiot by parking on the rear of my X4. |

The X4 will apply the brakes via the collision warning or pedestrian warning. It doesnt tell you which one is doing it but it has slammed on the brakes for me once because of the same reason the OP's wife has issues with(its a one time thing for me).
It hits the brakes quite hard too..scared the shit out of me and everyone in the car. lol Auto PDC is totally different and doesnt control the brakes. |

No cruise control doesn't play a part in this at all. But yes you have to have the Drivers Asst plus package. You don't need "stop n go" package though.
