Real World BMW Parking Assistant Plus Testing | TestDrive Garage

Sweat was running down your forehead, I have seen it.😁

if this wasn't the realest world testing I've ever seen...

Bravo for posting the unedited version of this video 😅

This is not reliable. I have a X6 2022. I tried auto parking in my underground garage and it hit a pillar. Had brutal scratches which BMW dealership denied to cover.

This is funny how she stole your spot 😄

lol @ woman taking the spot! :)

It was designated to work in county where parking has clear marks. Canada certainly fails on that department. Till now I didn’t know canada is third word country.

In Germany, this Feature working 100 out of 100.

You are driving too quickly

When the car does not detect it that means you have to get a bit more closer to the parking spot

Good job 👍

Well I confirm, my bmw 330e also doesn't detect the spits that well...

I've only found the system to work when there's a single spot open between two cars. It doesn't seem to engage when there's multiple spots open.

It's neat but more more novelty than practical. Can count on one hand how many times I've used it in my G20.

10 second work become 10 minutes work 😂

😂😂😂😂 truth behind auto assist parking,the Branding tactic broked

Am I the only one weak that some lady stole his parking space 😂😂

stopped watching after 3 minutes and still not seeing how the system works.

You wer using it all wrong, and why do you drive in the middle of the road, so far away from parking spots, geeze, mine works 100% of the time, read up on these things before uploading a video

I believe you need to drive less then 8km/h for it to sense

Just got mine 2 days ago. This is the first thing I tried. Love it.

I. Was sweating with you too. Nice job when it worked . Glad it worked . Thanks for testing it . It’s nice technology to have as assistance and backup ..

Thats really weird, Ive never experienced a case like yours in my one year with 118i, maybe the camera/sensors are not working properly in your car

I can’t get mine to identify the empty parking spaces. In fact, it identified two car parks with cars already in them

😂😂🤣🤣 You are one funny guy! I enjoyed this video! 🎬🎬

The system works, if you now how to use it properly and what are the situations when can detect a space. If you read the manual you will see why it did't work how you wanted, but how it was designed by the engineers.The parallel parking is perfect, and this perpendicular one is good in 70-80% of the situations. The reason is parallel parking is v2.0 while perpendicular is the 1.0 gen..

This is something you get used to, believe me. To the people who think the BMW videos are staged somehow, they're not. Once you learn the peculiarities, it works flawlessly. For example, the last 2 failed attempts were because you let go of the brakes slightly before accepting the warning. It does not detect large amounts of open spaces next to each other, because that's not the point of the system. If there are 5 open spots, you don't need a parking assistant.

What is the bmw option that gives you a valid driving licence ?

This was funny - thanks!

Nice video, I have a few questions, anyone who knows could answer.

1. Is this feature an option for bmws or is it standard as long as you have that parking sensor button thing?

2. Does the car need 360 view to have this feature

3. (Don’t come at me for this just curious about it) will the new Supra have this feature? If not would it even be possible to add it lol

I think the car is going great by not letting you choose spots because there’s ice on the floor and I think the car needs white lines to do it?

Have the parking assistant on the X3. Be careful when parking in the snow and also when there is diagonal parking in the parking lot. While it won't hit a car, the parking won't be centered. So you will have to fix it. I think it is a good feature to demonstrate to your family and friends but not practical in busy parking lots - which are basically all lots!

This is actually fantastic because this is how ALL of us will experience it and some BMW engineer showing it work in a perfect staged scenario.

I can definitely see the benefit of using this technology to parallel park on a city street where some spaces are tighter than others, but perpendicular parking in a shopping center parking lot with evenly spaced stalls laid out in a uniformed pattern? If you can't gauge the distance and spacing on your own on the first try, you should surrender your license to the authorities immediately and be forever forced to rely on ridesharing and public transportation as your primary means of conveyance.

i guess even a monkey can park with 360 degree camera... if you cant even, your driving license should be burned because this mean you are an horrible and certainly dangerous driver

i didnt even have parking sensors on my car and i never touch during manouvers... yes ok my car is small but for normal people a rear view camera + mirrors must be enought

What a total waste of money,if people can't park the damn thing they shouldn't be driving in the first place.That's tech just for the sake of being able to brag that your car can park it self.
