It's also way more accurate and does not beep and or register something that's a mile away like the old version did.

Glad to hear BMW made some very MINOR improvements in 2010. But that still doesn't address the issue of the PDC overreacting to normal conditions when it is not in park. For example, the proximity of garage walls, garage door jams, etc. I getting tired of the BMW nannys nagging all the time. The PDC nanny was one thing I could simply refuse to buy.
IMO the ONLY real solution to the PDC is to allow each driver the
option to set whether they want the PDC to be normally ON with the PDC button temporarily turning it off. Or have the PDC normally OFF with the PDC button allowing them to turn it on when
they decide they need it. This should be a trivial problem to solve via a software update: one option setting in the driver profile via the idrive. BMW simply doesn't want to do it.
