Collision Avoidance System

[PAUL HN]

Does anyone have any knowledge of this system. I have 3 setting to choose from but even on the most sensitive setting which is 'early', it does not generate any visual warnings under any circumstances which should trigger within 8 car lengths apparently? Can anyone tell me about their experiences with this system as it appears to be faulty on this vehicle. Thanks.

Welcome to the Forum

Sorry to say I have no experience of the "New" systems so looks as though I will have to get reading 😁

As your car is so new and should still be covered by the Manufacturer Warranty I would start there with a BMW Franchised Dealer

Thank you for your response Dave, I have been to BMW Dealer but all they say computer indicates 'no faults' although I had frequent warnings saying system was restricted. They refuse to road test it saying it is dangerous to road test which I dispute as the system should give a visual warning at 8 car lengths and low speeds. I suggested to test it against another BMW with the same system but again they will not. If I have it on the most sensitive setting and get no warnings what is the point of the less sensitive settings. Lots of unanswered questions with this system?

You have one major answer, your Local Main Dealer is not a good one !! Have you talked to BMW UK Customer services ? Clearly either the Dealer doesn't have a clue or there is an issue they also don't understand ? Worse by telling you a road test would be dangerous are they saying the car is in a dangerous condition ?

All questions I would put to BMW UK 

Good Luck

Dave
