So I am curious, how many of you with this option actually use this feature on a routine basis? It comes as part of the Driving Assistance Professional Package. At first I thought it was a bit of a gimmick, trying it only once after pulling into my driveway right after I got my X7. Then I recently moved to a new house that has a curved/semi-circle driveway in front of the house. While not necessary, I find myself using it every day now when I back out of the driveway. Part of me thinks I should "check my man card" every time I get into the X7. But hey, I paid for the tech so I might as well use it

....

Ha! I live in an old house with an extremely tight driveway and garage with obstructions everywhere, so I use it quite a bit. No shame here; I prefer my X7 to remain scratch-less.

I use it when I remember I have it. I have to just remember to implement it. My problem is I drive many different vehicles and none have anything close to the tech of the X7. I do love the tech toys.
