BMW Parking Assistant (iDrive 8 Update)

THe 3d view is invaluable especially if you're near curbs. It's a great feature.

For the back up assist why a person needs to press gas padel before brake manually? That’s so stupid I was trying to back out from a tight space garage imagine you have to give it gas before the back up assist start. The car won’t move until you give a very very very light press on the gas pedal. Why the car won’t start back up assist as soon as I release the brake.

What about parallel parking?

This self park feature comes with the standard Parking Assistant and not the Parking Assistant Plus, correct?

How well does this work if someone parks too closely to your car on either side?

Must the car have driven past the place it wants to park?

Do you know if the new 2023 3 series (G20 LCI) will have park assist as standard? It appears so as "Park Assist Plus" is part of an additional package maybe implying the regular Park Assist comes standard? Thanks!

Are these features on the basic i4 e40 as standard? It has idrive8 but website is very vague..

Hello, I have a question regarding the Drive Recorder with iDrive 7. With the Parking Assistance Package, is the drive recorder always on when parked and the engine turned off? For example, if I go to a restaurant and eat food, and someone hits my car, will the drive recorder capture that even though the car is fully off?

Is augmented reality only available in idrive 8 or is there going to be an update for the idrive 7 to get the augmented reality?
