Releasing happens when you start to drive again. It is very precise.

I'm really amazed about how many people think you need to disable it before driving. First of all the car would alert you if it was a bad thing, hence cars have been doing for years when driving with the handbrake on. But secondly: what would still be automatic when a driver had to enable and disable every single time they want to use the feature?? Ive read a post about a guy almost being furious at his dad when driving around with auto hold enabled. It's the whole purpose of the automatic feature. So it can automatically be enabled and disabled when necessary.

Imagine driving another car which doesn't have this feature and you are so used to it and think its normal operation for all cars, that could go south real fast... I agree it is a great feature to have though. |

It's a pretty specific use case, but I really like the Back-up Assistant, which controls steering to help you reverse along the same path that your just drove forward.
We have a two-deep tandem garage, with no more than 2" clearance on each side at the garage door. When exiting from the deeper space, I use the Back-up Assistant, as opposed to "threading the needle" on my own, which I used to do with my slightly narrower E90. Never thought much about the feature until I started using it. I imagine the more common use would be any time one gets into an area in which it's difficult to back out (parking, one-way alley, etc.) |

Passenger eject. Finally a solution for that resentful passenger who's kept score of every mistake I've made since we started dating 10 years ago.

I immediately realized this when I started using this feature "I should use this feature either all the time or never or I'll rear-end someone". So far I haven't been using it but people are convincing me in this thread. The engine start/stop technology probably works better this way also.

I really dig the optional electric trunk. Surprised by that one. Also really enjoying CarPlay now that it seems to be working. Having Waze and Spotify on my infotainment is great!

It's absolutely incredible. It drives my car for most of the time on highways. I can barely touch the steering wheel and it keeps my car in lane. I don't think one can explain how useful is that. I cannot imagine any next car without such a feature. Two more things I didn't expect to use/like so much:

Auto hold, had this on my 5 series and old 3 series didn't have it. Due to amount of miles I do I wouldn't have bought the G20 if it did not have auto hold.
360 camera are really useful and also panoramic cameras for blind assist works really well. Adaptive cruise control with steering assist is the most useful. Cover around 25k a year so use this more then anything. Anyone had the balls to leave their hands off the steering wheel and ignore the warnings when steering assist is on? I did in the fast lane of the motorway, interesting to say the least lol!

Curious what happened when you ignored the hands on wheel warning? Don't think I've seen a video of anyone doing this yet, they always take wheel when its blinking red. |
