I thought wow
The Parking assistant is another step toward taking away driving skills from the driver - what kind of driver is BMW identifying with:
The driving assistant implies BMW wants stupid driver that cannot maneuver a car... Or has cataract surgery and cannot visualize or initiate a parking maneuver BMW should think of its drivers I drove the 1500 then the 2500 then the 520 and when I was 13 and on my wall there was a picture saying freund am Fahren And a speeding 7 series -- the pleasure drivers extracts out of driving is by maneuvering a powerful car like the 5 and 6, and M and then taming them When that is gone so does the pleasure of driving amigos Many BMW drivers specially |

cool feature, but id like to see how it deal with the tight-parking-streets of NYC. It probably wont unless the spot is a certain size.
in addition, does it only monitor the side its parking on? or does it monitor the opposite side for impending dangers? for example a bicyclist or pedestrian? the question about the rim curbing is a good one. although of course BMW wont take responsibility

Pretty cool but really I want to freak people out with the auto pilot. I would love to see people's faces when the driver would completely turn around and look at the rear passengers XD

Cool feature, but something tells me we can expect the "I'm gonna lemon my car and demand a new one " posts when someone's car doesn't park correctly or ; an incoming car from the rear clips the reversing front left of the car .

Pretty Cool
But it's a similar product/solution that Ford launched in 2011 with the Focus!
I think BMW is a bit late for this! Well, I have no issues parking mine, but I know that it will be a useful feature for other drivers! |

Here's a news flash, It's says more about the consumers buying these cars. If you don't need the feature, don't use it

If folks can't handle the car and know where the four corners are at 2mph, how can they be trusted at 60mph.
