2017/2018 features help

Does either the 2017 or 2018 X5 M have remote start?

Does either have any sort of automatic parking, parallel or otherwise?

Does either have adaptive cruise? Collision avoidance? Automatic lane changing? Any other sort of auto driving?

Does either have 4 wheel steering?

Any other 2017/2018 X5 M features you think are cool that I may not have thought of?

Thanks.

Does either have any sort of automatic parking, parallel or otherwise? Park assist. It helps you parallel park.

Does either have adaptive cruise? No.
Collision avoidance? It has collision warning, but it will not break for you.

Automatic lane changing? No. It has lane assist, where the steering wheel vibrates if you go off your lane without turn signals.

Any other sort of auto driving? No.

Does either have 4 wheel steering? No.

Any other 2017/2018 X5 M features you think are cool that I may not have thought of? '17 and on has wireless charging and apple carplay.

Thanks for your answers.

Does BMW make a remote start that can be added for the 2017-2018 X5 M?

FYI, the non-M F15 X5 (both 50i and 35i) can be optioned with Adaptive Cruise Control, and with a bit of tinkering, you can enable Traffic Jam Assist as well.

AFAIK, a dealer installed remote start solution was offered but incompatible with later software updates so it was pulled as an offering altogether, not sure if it was even available for the M-versions. It also seems remote start solutions for these cars aren't very good.

Nope. I think the new GO5 has remote start as an option.

HUD (I don't think I have ever seen one without it)
Night Vision


Personally I think a lot of those tech features are overrated and remove the drivers attention from doing what they should...driving and paying attention to the road. People become to reliant on technology and think its going to save them and work correctly...look at all those videos of people asleep at the wheel with the Tesla driving, ridiculous.

Also, if you're looking for auto driving, then an M is not it.
