When will autopark be available (see pictures)

[Gilles]

I read a test repport of the X5 this morning that mentionned that the Auto Park will be available in March /April (X5 release date in Europe).

I have decided not to pre oredr the X5 and wait for th Autopark and Auto Tailgate.

this sounds like a useful feature. it is ridiculous that bmw thinks that europe needs this and not the USA?? they did the same thing with the rear fog light.... do they think we don't have fog in the USA???

You'll probably find is more to do with legislation than any mucking around on the auto maker's part. Take the black bumper inserts on E60s as an example.

I think caddies have had this since the 60s...

The AUTO BREAK PARK Button is also on that Picture.




Did somebody got it on its new E70 ? Why ?

See bellow the Picture of the Auto Pack Button . (Button # 1)
Attachment 12613

Is that option already available in the US ? If not do you know when it will be?

I'm confused. What is "autopark"??

[Gilles]

When activated , the Car will go to park avery time you stop (ie at a trafic light or trafic jamm). You then just need to pressthe gaz pedal to go to Drive.

The bottom line is that you don't need to keep your foot on the Brake avery time you stop. I have that feature on the 7 serie and I love it .

Now that is a great feature! I'll put that at the top with comfort access (keyless go)!

Could Somebody check with a US dealer when the Autopark will be available ?
By the way , the Picture with the autopark button comes from the US training manual from BMW. So this option should soon be available in the US . Thx

I can hardly wait for that "feature"...

How do any of us get through 20-50 years
of driving without that beautiful lil' option?
