Thoughts about the driving assistance Pro Package

[NoWine]

Hello! I have ordered the 750e without the Driving Assistance Pro Package. Is this a good move for me? I just don't want to regret the decision.

I got a BMW i7 with that Driver Assistance package. It's cool that it can drive itself, but the car's always watching me. It's annoying and my sunglasses mess it up.

If you don't like being watched, skip the driver assist. Also, don't worry too much about adding options, they don't really help the resale value.

Yeah, it's a bit annoying how quickly it warns you about looking away. But other than that, it actually works pretty well.

It depends on how much you value features like lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. If you’re okay without those, it’s a fine choice..

No issues with my sunnies. Try using another pair.

I wear polarized sunglasses, and highway assistant doesn’t seem to mind. Maybe try a different pair and see if that helps? I get it, though, the way it freaks out the moment you glance away is super annoying. But aside from that, it actually does a pretty great job!

If you’re not a fan of being micromanaged by your car, skipping the Driving Assistance Pro might be a good call. But if you enjoy being gently guided to perfection, you might miss the extra help. Worst case, you’ll be the one in control, just don’t expect the car to park itself and hand you a coffee.

Opting out of the Driving Assistance Professional Package in your BMW 750e is a personal choice. This package offers advanced features like hands-free highway driving and adaptive cruise control, enhancing convenience and safety. However, some owners find the constant monitoring intrusive, especially when wearing sunglasses.

If you value these features, you might consider adding the package. If not, your 750e will still provide a luxurious driving experience.

Now that you’ve had the car for a while, do you actually miss the Pro Package, or was skipping it the right call? Curious how it’s working out!
