F20 with auto pilot brake function question
Holla guys ,
I own an f20 mpack 116i with PDC front & rear and auto pilot with brake assistance . I used to work auto pilot with brake assistance to my father's e65 745i with car auto brakes when the front car brakes also and keeping distance from the front car as requested (10m , 20m etc) Now i can't find how brake assistance in f20 activates ? Anyone knows ? Or it is just brake assistance for marketing tricks ? Thanks ! |

PDC sensors have a very short range that make them unable to deal with distance management with a car in front when driving. |

the parking distance control is only for parking, not for braking the car by itself. I don't know if there is a new optional but I suppose that there isn't..

Others have answered the braking question. I like this feature, it's good knowing that on downhill stretches of motorway I'm not going to speed away.
In UK we can opt on the Driving Assist which will at least warn you of a collision but won't actually stop / slow you down: "The Lane Departure Warning includes an integrated camera-based Collision Warning. As soon as the system detects that the vehicle in front is too close, it warns the driver with a display on the instrument panel as well as an acoustic signal. Source: BMW UK But I had the same question thinking this was adaptive cruise control which would be awesome on lazy motorway drives.
