I hope it works better than units I've experienced in other vehicles. I've had the system engage by slaming on the brakes so hard due to "seeing/sensing" a crash due to vehicles in left turn only lanes or exiting off of highways, I've had cars almost rear end me.

The tech. is really cool in that it will literally come to a full stop at a light and accelerate on green without ever touching the pedals.

At this point though I don't trust it anymore. YMMV

BMW version works very well, never had any of those issues. Hopefully the Ford version works the same.

Now there’s a company that is entirely too impressed with itself.

LOL that's funny. There goes Smurf again with his Euro skepticism :)

But I do agree. BMW has been talking amongst itself for quite a while now. They should go back to their e39/e46 days and build the best driver's cars and stick to that. Bulbous and hideous M6s and X6s are a travesty.

Euro-skeptic. I resemble that remark!

It’s not like brand b were / are incapable of good engineering, some are not too shabby at the auto-x. But yeah, I’ll leave them to others.

Though I do enjoy shooting the bmw logo targets every week... :biggrin:

did you back up each module before you changed it? my understanding is you do each one individually.
