Gesture Control and Parking system plus, worth it?
Hey folks,
Im in the throws of ordering my 330e M Sport, ive decided that i want the uprated audio and the comfort pack. But im trying to weigh up if its worth going for the Tech pack aswell, that only really adds Gesture control, and im thinking how useful it is, or is it just a gimmick? Also, how many of you have the parking system plus? is that a worthwhile option, or again is it something that looks good on a spec sheet but in reality it becomes a gimmick? Cheers |

I love the HUD, never reaslied how much I wanted it until I got it.
I disabled the gesture controls on day one as I couldn't see a time when they would be useful. Parking stuff is fun too, it's great just letting the car reverse itself off the driveway That may or may not be part of the parking package though. |

I turned Gesture Control off in my X5 because I kept triggering it accidentally when moving my left hand. It's a load of crap to be honest.

The HUD does nothing for me, it seems a bit pointless when all the info is in the instrument panel an inch below Thats why im in 2 minds about the tech pack, its only the HK and wireless charging that is a must for me, im thinking if i have those as individual options, i can then get the 360 camera instead. which day to day will be more useful.

Go for the HUD never use the dials again!!!! Had it on three cars now (435, X5 & 330i), each one has been a progression, you will not regret it. My son who is a V8 M3 purist even says it is the one thing he wished he had.....of course, all the while giving blips of V8 rumble |

Park assist plus is a fantastic extra for the 3D overhead image of the car.
This makes the car much easier to park. I’ve never used the automatic parking. |

Tech Pack was a must for me. HUD is brilliant and probably worth getting the pack alone for it. Gesture control I tend to use more as a passenger or when I'm parked in the car fannying about on my phone, means I don't have to lift my eyes from my screen. HK is a definitely preferred over the standard sound. Wireless charging is mega useful &.used everytime I'm in the car. 360 can be a God send at times and so glad I have it.
The reverse assistant has also been worthwhile for us as we have a narrow driveway and the other half likes to use it. |

I may be the wrong person to answer as I will always tick every option box!!!... but I would hate to go back to a car without HUD - in particular I like the fact that satnav directions and speed limit info are displayed.
As for park assist plus, personally I like the additional features.... and to be honest six weeks in I am still discovering features - only today I found at that you will get a warning if you are getting close to a kerb while 'manually' parking when the system is switched on. The automatic parking system is excellent....once you learn to trust it!! |

For what it's worth I think that the utterly brilliant reverse assistant feature is standard equipment in the uk...but stand to be corrected!
