Advanced Driver Assistance Package
Hi All,
As I'm putting my order through for 2021 M3 (my first M) , should I consider the Advanced Driver Assistance pkg? I understand it will assist in traffic and hwy driving with Cruise control where it will slow down if vehicle in front slows down. Anyone that has this pkg, see value? Thanks, Clement

system is open for orders now? I was told "late oct but prob early nov"
the system basically combines radar cruise and lane keeping assist in highway and dense traffic speed... i.e. level 2 autonomous driving. Exciting part about this system seems to be that with the sensor that stares at your eyes, in traffic jam situation you can have your hands off the whole time provided you are alert. My current car it's about 15 sec of hands off time only The traffic jam part is useful, the highway speed adaptive cruise is nice in theory but I find even the shortest gap is generally too big and people will always merge into it which causes the car to brake... perhaps says more about the shitty driving habits of Toronto drivers than anything

Thanks for the video. Your point on safe the gap in front is actually a big issue for manufactures introducing autonomous cars, as they fear the cars will simply be bullied by 'normal' drivers. Will be interesting when it happens.

I think you get that rather ridiculous looking sensor in the grille beneath the license plate if you get that package...ive heard it looks worse in pictures than it does in person though

Wait are you sure ... I'm under the impression that the order guide and configurator up on BMW.ca are for RWD only for both standard and competition models. AWD competition will be available in summer with no prices yet.

Just did a quick research and here is what I found. The new BMW M3 Sedan and new BMW M4 Coupé are fitted with a six-cylinder in-line engine, whose 353 kW/480 hp is channeled to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. In the new BMW M3 Competition Sedan and new BMW M4 Competition Coupé, the 375 kW/510 hp version teams up with an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic. The two Competition models will also be available (est. from summer 2021 depending on your market) with the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system https://www.bmwblog.com/2020/09/23/b...top-20-things/

Just had a chat with the dealer and some good and bad news
Good news: My M order is placed with M xDrive and they are pretty confident for delivery in June 2021. The sales mgr, said they have spot reserved with Bmw for my order with M xdrive. Bad news: The price quoted was for RWD. Xdrive (AWD) price will only be available early next yr. They suspect the price will around 1500-2000K (CAD). Thanks DecemberStorm mirob . Will keep you posted if I hear more! Take care!

On topic if you are in regular traffic jams or take long distance trips where you do not feel the need to make up every possible second on the highway by zig zagging then the radar cruise/driver assist is great just let the car make all the minor adjustments and enjoy the ride. In stop and go traffic can even take your hands off the wheel |

I have the Drivers Assistance Pkg in my M5. It works fantastic on the highway. Great for long drives, can relax your legs. I use it quite often. Worth it for me.

Always remember dealers know the least and many will say what they need to just to keep you happy if there is some grey area they can fall back on. If you get the dealers first allocation the earliest build week will be in July or August |
