Park Distance Control

Ewrek · 04-18-2005, 04:36 AM

Does anyone know if the park disance control has a meter on the navigation ssem or something.....or possibly on the rear window. I have read all the post and been to all the site but it says it just beeps. Any info?

I know on the Euro spec nav system, there is a neat graphical representation of the front and back sensors. You can see where the obstruction is and the color also changes. Would be nice if we get this feature on US spec.

In the US the 7 series has the graphical representation of the PDC, so I don't see why the E90 wouldn't.

As requested, E90 PDC display / readout.

As much as I'm wary about getting iDrive, stuff like this makes me think again.

You have to see idrive for yourself and fiddle with it before passing judgement. I personally LIKE idrive. But then again, I'm a techno geek.

I'm sure that what it can do is cool. What it will actually do...well...I'm still a bit scared.

There is the problem with some 6ers just draining their batteries mysteriously, turning on the radio by themselves and running them all night, etc. Scary... Don't know if that stuff has been resolved. I hope so.

Why did BMW cheap out and not put parktronic on the front bumpers as well?

Ewrek · 04-18-2005, 10:30 PM

I appreciate the pictures and the info.....This is even more great!!! I love what idrive is capable of......good question on the front, what did we get stiffed on that???

I consider myself a really good driver, but one thing I could never do well is parallel park. maybee this system will help me look like a normal person in the city

They are Work Meister S1 2 piece wheels in 19". I've taken them off now tho, and have a set of 18" wheels on now

I'm on the fence right now, for me its between Sapphire black (again) or titanium silver. I think I will end up with a sapphire black M3 sedan in the end tho.

You know I had the same dilemma, but in the end I chose TiAg. I say you should go for what I didn't.

There is an option for rear only and one for both front and rear.

There are different option packages available that vary by country. Please list your locations. It makes your comments more meaningful. Thanks.
