Park Assist & Front Collision
Guys, quick questions:
1) Does our M5 have Park Assist? 2) With Front Collision Warning on, and if I don't apply the brake, will the M5 intervene and brake for me? |

2) it does brake and stop the car, at least did it with mine and thankfully our belts were fastened. The car in front of me was turning right, and I accelerated, counting that it was going to be out of my way. but the system didn't understand it the same way and blocked the wheels after the beep sound. I was driving at aprox 15 - 20 kmh |

For what appeared to be simple questions on the surface, things have derailed a bit already.
1) the m5 offers cameras - top down view/rear/front sides - these can be helpful in parking but are not what BMW calls "park assist" where the car actually parallel parks for you. This is not offered on the F10 M5 - certainly not in the US. 2) In the US, the car will *not* brake for you. It preloads the brakes, as I experienced a couple days back, but will not apply the brakes at all. In non US cars, which countries specifically I don't know, it actually does go as far as to stop for you.

1. No - As dhirm5 mentioned, we have cameras but we don't have "BMW Parking Assistant".
This is what BMW Parking Assistant looks like: 2. No - it'll warn you that you're close to the car in front but will not brake for you.

Regarding question 2:
According to a report published by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in May 2014 (http://www.iihs.org/iihs/news/deskto...ash-prevention), the 2014 BMW 5 does now brake and bring the car to a complete stop. BMW offers an improved front crash prevention system on 2014 models that secures high marks for the X5, 5 series and 3 series. The X5 and 5 series earn superior ratings when equipped with a system that uses both a camera and radar. When the X5, 5 series and 3 series are equipped with an optional camera-only collision mitigation system, they are rated advanced for front crash prevention. The 2 series luxury coupe also earns an advanced rating. BMW 3 series test The BMW 5 series brakes for the target in an IIHS test. The car earns a superior rating when equipped with an optional camera and radar system. In comparison, the 2013 model 3 series was rated basic. The earlier model's system braked for a stopped car ahead only if sensors first detected the car moving before it stopped. The same system is still available on certain 2014 models, and these cars continue to earn a basic rating. I do not know if this is also true for 2014 M5 builds. Considering how much news this generated (google the BMW crash avoidance or autobrake), I am certain that all lux car manufacturers will offer this (full stop) as standard with sufficiently equipped vehicles. I would also assume that this could easily be coded from a software perspective as I find it hard to believe that the 2014 models have different braking/camera/radar hardware to specifically enable full stop capabilities. I have been wanting to test this for quite a while, but I can't think of a good way to do so that has zero risk of damage to my car (obviously, I would not do this in an unsafe public area). I have a pretty long driveway and I'm thinking about putting my aerobed type blow up queen bed out there and seeing if the car stops . . . but that would require more energy than my curiosity has me motivated to do.
