did you reqret not having driver assist pro?
Ive been offered 12% for a 2019 that doesn't have the driver assist package. I can't find another car with the color option I want with this package. Debating on if I should pull the trigger. Driver Assist is something I really wanted and that's the only reason why I didn't buy this car when I drove it a few weeks ago.

I have it and not having it would have been a deal breaker. Also just my opinion, these vehicles are high end and expensive, so at minimum it should have the options I desire to have, otherwise later I wished I did. It's just me, how I think.

I was skeptical at first. Ordered it and now ain't no way in hell I'd get another BMW without it.

If you have spent any time in a Tesla, it's far, far from what a Tesla can do. Even v1 of the Tesla Autopilot ~5 years ago was better. it has too many buttons, doesn't hold the center of the lane very well and I don't trust it on anything with corners or complicated roads. It is better than nothing, but it's really not worth paying for - honestly, this technology is advancing so quickly, if you waited 3-5 years and got the next version, you would be much better off.
If you found the perfect car, and it's only missing this option, sure, buy it. I'm pretty confident my wife will never use it in our X7, it's too complicated and doesn't work that well. Andy |

you will regret it. wait for the right car not the right price. you will never ever say to yourself "sh!t i wish i had this option... but at least i got a good deal" but you will forget the price and every time you drive it say "i wish i had this feature".

I pulled the trigger yesterday. After testing the lane keep assist on the way home I was disappointed tos ay it wasn't on par with the XC90. at 13.5% off MSRP I was ok with not having driver assist for a few years.

Can you elaborate on this? What exactly wasn't on par with the Volvo XC90?

I just faced this same dilemma on an X5. The only one they had that had DAP didn't have the HUD. I ultimately chose the one with HUD as I use it every time I drive the car. A tough decision but ultimately the right one for me.

I have it and would not buy without it. I use it on every long trip as long as the roads are clearly marked the X7 drives it self. I personally think it works great.

When I let go of the steering wheel to see how well it handles the road... on straight road if for whatever reason the car veers, it doesn't pull back until it almost or sometime hit the lane and when it does pull back it jerks it back. On a curve road, forget it.
In the Volvo, i stick a water bottle in the corner of the steering wheel on a long road trip tricking the system to think my hand is on the wheel, I can let go for miles and the vehicle will remain quite center. Regardless, although it's a $1700 option, I would have to pay a about 7k more to get the car I wanted (2019 vs 2020) plus a slew of other options I didn't care for, IE: hitch, running boards, etc... |

As others have mentioned, straight roads are fine, but on the curvy roads it almost jerks a bit. Not as smooth as I would like. By comparison to Tesla, I beg to differ that the Autopilot system is better. I have stopped using my Autopilot on the Model X completely as there is inherently an issue with phantom braking. Basically at highway speeds, the car would jump on the breaks as if there is something ahead of me stopped. Literally would drop from 75 to 60 as I take over and step on the throttle so nobody rear ends me. This is the same for my Model 3 as well.

I can say this feature saved me big time from preventing an accident and wont get another BMW without it. Trying to find an X7 with it in stock and the other features we want has been challenging. I am very surprised that BMW doesnt have this included as a standard feature on the their cars.

And, we have a Volvo too. I do the water bottle trick also. (You cant trick the bmw like that. It must have capacitance or pressure sensors in the steering wheel). The Volvo does not change lanes automatically either, plus you have to tap the accelerator after it comes to a full stop a lot of times to resume. I like the bmw system better, especially the full hands free heavy traffic mode. Last edited by crackerjack15; 12-11-2019 at 10:47 AM.. |
