M550 - Disabled driver assistance after small fender bender
Hello! I'm hoping someone here can help me. I hit a small pole the other day. I want to get the vehicle repaired (bumper and headlight) without going through insurance. I am in the process of getting estimates, but the shops I have talked to are very busy.
In the meantime, the car detected the "collision" even though it was minor. Because of that, it has disabled driver assistance. Since it is a lease, I'd rather not have the dealer address the iDrive issue if possible. Is there a way to tell the car that everything is okay and it can re-enable driver assistance? |

One of my neighbors scraped my bumper while parking. When my car went for repairs, they had to send the car to the dealer to recalibrate the driver assistance systems. Repair shops said once the bumper was off, it had to be done.

I can take pictures of the damage, but I'm pretty positive that the radar is untouched. The radar, I believe, is in the middle of the bumper. The damage is right under the left headlight.

I was afraid that might be the case.

The radar is, indeed, in the middle, but there are other sensors at the corners. If one is damaged or misaligned, the system will malfunction.
