Almost became the star of another crashed M car thread

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

I was out Sunday taking a purposeless drive on a winding, hilly road. At one point I approached a green M4 (darker than my IOMG, maybe BRG?) coming toward me. I was staring at his car ready to give the driver a "thumbs up" when I realized I was drifting toward his lane. I recovered my senses and turned back to the right. I can imagine the comments after a photo of a G80-G82 head-on crash was posted

You tend to go where you're looking so staring at the thing you're trying not to hit is usually going to end poorly.

Woah, be careful! Glad you're ok!

Did your lane assist or advanced lane keeping kick in or do you keep it off?

I plan to keep mine off; the active one at least. A little buzzy reminder I may be drifting is fine, I don't want something steering the wheel for me.

It was on, but it all happened too fast. I responded before it did.
