BMW Driver Assistant Professional iDrive8

[@zihaowu3401]

hi may I ask if the 2023 x1's driver assistant professional is the same as this car?

[@eric7830]

Not the same

[@Brian30633]

Does the 2023 X1 with premium package has this feature?

[@gyenchentsang37]

Hope for coming more like this kind of video. Does this feature in 2023 new X1 sport version?

[@BMWofFW]

they JUST added it!!!!!!

[@gyenchentsang37]

Thanks

[@fabiankrieger6303]

@@BMWofFWis that the same for the ix1 in Europe? 🙏

[@srinivasg9277]

Does 220i active tourer 2023 model driving assistance professional has these features? Because i have 220i active tourer. In driving assistance settings i didn't find all the options you have shown. So

[@BMWofFW]

@@srinivasg9277 the active tour would not get these… It’s still the older style system so highway assistant isn’t an option

[@srinivasg9277]

@BMWofFW Thank you for your reply.. But what can driving assistance professional of active tourer 220i can do for me..? Is it having adoptive cruise control at least..?

[@blondebeautylush]

AR is so cool it’s a shame the i4m50 was passed over for this feature. My m50 is currently crossing the Atlantic and should arrive at BALPOA on Friday. I’m beyond excited as I’m closing in on my one year anniversary of ordering it next month.

[@BMWofFW]

YAAAAAAASSSSSS, but yeah unfortunately because it shares it's base wiring harness with the standard 4 series that means it gets Service Pack 18 so it won't get that feature. It needs the 4K front camera to do so.

[@NeutralGenericUser]

@@BMWofFW Thank you so much for explaining why. I'm kind of bummed that my i4 M50 arriving in April will not have this, and I briefly considered getting an iX instead, but I decided I'll stick with the i4. Have you noticed any differences in the way DAP works in the i4 vs. the iX/i7? From all the videos I've seen, the only differences I've noticed are: 1) The iX/i7 can handle sharper curves (maybe?), 2) The iX/i7 can park in a parking spot surrounded by empty spots, whereas the i4 needs a car on at least one side to align to (it lines up with the car, not the actual parking line), and 3) The i7 (and maybe the iX) allow Traffic Jam Assist hands free at a much higher speed (i4 maxes out at 40mph, whereas the i7 can do hands free up to 85mph). Thanks in advance for all the useful information you provide!

[@aneebaba06]

Congrats. I reserved mine Aug 2021. Feb 2022 for the order. It's at my dealership in Portland, OR, but with the recall, it got stuck at the Port in Cali. But I will finally see it this weekend but waiting for the part to arrive. Guessing yours is in hand by now.

[@Mo-kv9hg]

I will receive mine tomorrow

[@awmustang]

In my current car I am often changing the follow distance. I would hate for that to be buried in the touch screen instead of right on the steering wheel. Hope they bring that back really soon.

[@BMWofFW]

unlikely TBH

[@khwajanizamuddin9332]

Is it possible to keep it as a shortcut for quick access?

[@AdarshSahni]

What models have this feature? Does 2023 i4 M50 with DAPP has AR?

[@BMWofFW]

Sadly no the i4 as it stands now won’t get this because it’s still running service pack 18… with the upcoming LCI it should be upgraded to SP21 and get this feature though.

[@mbowman6799]

Does it work with sunglasses on? What about at night?

[@BMWofFW]

Night yes, sunglasses 50/50

[@BMWofFW]

Sunglasses @ night… 100% 😎

[@lloydpark2862]

Will X5 LCI also have these features?

[@BMWofFW]

if all reports hold up than yes.

[@kennyli5838]

can u do the same on the new 3 series lci？I want to see if the dapp works as good as the higher models：ix, 7

[@BMWofFW]

YUP! you just don't get the AR visualization

[@chamaldealwis9]

@@BMWofFW would the M3 competition with idrive 8 also not get it?

[@dyl6085]

[@DumbDogIsDumb]

Always like your videos. I wish my local genius was as knowledgeable as you. Quick question if I may. When driving my 2024 X5 in highway assist plus, what does it mean when the thick green stripe down the middle kind of overlays with a thick white line? Seems like it might be when I move the wheel a little but not sure. Also, what’s the difference between the big thick line being green vs white and the two thin lane divider linesturning green vs white? The drivers manual app doesn’t really go into detail and the genius hotline didn’t have a clue. Thanks. Absoluto love this amazing car.

[@BMWofFW]

the thick lane filling middle green line is your distance control (letting you know it's active, either with a car detected with a box around it or no car detected). if you're talking about the white line that lies across perpendicularly across that area, that's your general follow distance marker. it reflects in AR your current set follow distance and will move further away or closer depending on speed. the lane divider/definer lines just show weather active lane keeping is active. White means it's not active, either from a manual lane change selected, or the lines became undefined for the system for a moment, Green means lines are defined and lane keep assist is active.

[@DumbDogIsDumb]

@@BMWofFW Thank you for the clarification. Your dealership and your customers are lucky to have you. Got to try it today in a traffic jam and that was so cool. BMW really knocked it out of the park with this car.

[@tivo45]

I have an m340 2024 with 5AU driving assistant profesional. But i dont have driving assistant plus. Is thst option restricted for some countries? Im in Mexico

[@BMWofFW]

Check your drive settings…. Most of the adjustments are hidden in there. I, not 100% sure of the differences in Mexican market vs US

[@hamada128]

Is it completely automated and hands-free? Or do you still have to tap/hold the steering wheel similar to idrive 7?

[@BMWofFW]

it depends on the road/highway. similar to supercruise it is only on certain closed highways that are available in the HERE HD Map database, otherwise it's very similar to the previous version with some visual/performance upgrades.

[@hamada128]

@@BMWofFW thx

[@Evgeniy4063]

What is the difference between Driving assistant, Driving Assistant Plus and Driving Assistant Professional?

[@BMWofFW]

so: Drivers assistant has: - rear collision prevention - crossing traffic warning rear - lane departure warning - lane changing warning - approach control waring And the "Plus" adds: - steering and lane keep assistant with active side collision protection - crossroads waring - evasion aid - crossing traffic warning front -exit warning (select models) "Professional" adds: -Lane Keep -auto lane change -adaptive cruise -traffic jam assistant -Highway assistant (select models)

[@parikshitmurria3607]

​@@BMWofFW does the above demarkation still hold valid for 2024 X1 ? 5AS vs 5AT vs 5AU (ZYU)

[@thexoftexas4267]

Does Driving Assistance Professional Package require a paid subscription?

[@BMWofFW]

Nope... never has never will... there is a option that if you have one of the cars that has the wiring for it but you didn't get it from the factory that you can try it out for either a month or a year for a price, but otherwise just buying it once and done is the way to go.

[@thexoftexas4267]

@@BMWofFW That's good. A leg up on super cruise. Now if they would bring back night vision (I have it on my 2016 X5) and the cruise control following distance selection to a button on the steering wheel, I would be first in line.

[@kingm3llo]

does the 2023 bmw x7 m60 with driving assitance professional have this ar function?

[@BMWofFW]

not until April 2023 Production

[@rss2707]

is this on the 420i too?

[@BMWofFW]

a lesser version yes should be available as an option!

[@buttonholes]

Will the BMW Driver Assistant Professional Package work the same on a 2023 330e?

[@BMWofFW]

Yes but without highway assistant as it still has a core of service pack 18, aka no front facing 4k camera or AR

[@motty_klein619]

Hi. You know how to reset oil change light on my 2023 BMW X7?!

[@MarkWoodChannel]

The wife just took delivery of a 2025 X5 hybrid a week ago and can't even play the radio, it's already in the shop. It was built in SC right after Helene hit, we were surprised it came so quick probably a loose sensor or something we'll see. She's not happy I even detailed it after she went to bed last night so she wouldn't be so pissed calling the dealer today. 😂Our first BMW but I will say the thing is solid AF and it's faster than I even know, my 2023 F150 crew cab hybrid has 430 hp this thing has 483 LMFAO. I haven't even opened up my F150 yet, I hit 100 mph one day but wasn't anywhere close to pushing it. We ordered new phones today too, her iPhone is a 10 wouldn't surprise me if the AI did it on purpose.

[@Robin-jc6ei]

is it only for new 7 series. Do we have it for new x7?

[@BMWofFW]

The x7 will have it as well

@@BMWofFW Great Video! I came here to watch because I have a 2023 X7 on order, and I’m excited to hear that the Driving Assistant Professional package is this amazing.

[@ramirs91]

@@aarondoss109 I believe the current 2023 X7 that are already on the road will not get this feature ("Hands-free" highway drive assist). Once the feature is added to the X7, I believe that will involve a new hardware, hence only newer X7 builds will get it. Pretty common for the launch version or first few months to miss a few features.

@@BMWofFW I had my custom build 23 X7 with the Driving Assistant Professional package, but I can't find the AR view like you showed in the video.

Hi. Will the driving assistant professional on 2024 x2 with idrive9 will be similar?

[@BMWofFW]

everything except for highway assistant, so hands free in traffic below 40 mph, but no hands free above 40mph on highway.

[@nhtna4706]

hey, do a full assisted driving video,. love to see your review on how its working, as i personally am not impressed with BMW's assisted dirving, mainly when it goes right when you turn the left indicator ;) lol! looks like bmw doesnt have expertise on assisted driving like ford/tesla

[@BMWofFW]

Are you sure you’re thinking of assisted driving? Sounds like lane departure with steering intervention to me (that will pull you back into the lane opposite where you might be trying to go if you didn’t use a turn signal )

[@nhtna4706]

​@@BMWofFW So you mean, the fully assisted driving would take care of the auto lane departure as well? love to see any video on this,. havent seen any video posting on such, mainly on main roads, rather than showing on safe places/empty grounds etc., because i am on assisted driving and when i hit the signal (right for example), it tries to go towards the left.. may be i am missing something ?
