Is the G20's Driving Assistant Professional the same as the G30's?

Hi

I'm currently in a well equiped G31 but I'm considering a G21 330e when current lease on the G31 expires.
(I'm in europe)

Anyone that have tried the Active driving assistant pro on the G2x and can give some advice if it's better, the same or worse compared to the one in the G3x?
Especially the semi self driving (lane keeping).
I'm a bit worried since the G2x seems to have a single camera at the top of the wind shield while the G3x have a dual (stereo) camera there.

Thanks in advance!

If you have the Pro version the car should come with the triple camera KAFAS system.

Can't compare to a g3x but my 330e keeps in lane very well as long as you touch the wheel every 15 seconds, it still amazes me after 3 months how well it works, really takes the stress out of motorway journeys especially with traffic

Even for the 3 series?
I thought that was 5 (LCI) and up only?

This is indeed also true for the g20 and most other g series.
There are some technical docs on this forum where this described in detail.

Can't speak for the G30, but the only difference I've seen between the driving assistant systems between my G20 and G05 are that my G05 allows for automatic lane changes whereas my G20 does not.
