I just picked up my 2nd G80 and I keep seeing this light popup with driving. Note, I used this pic as a reference. Its not my car. But I got that light driving down a 45mph road to work for whatever reason. Its popped up twice now.


As far as I can see, I have lane departure off. Any clue why I keep seeing this pop up?

According to the manual, that icon means:

The icon illuminates green: at lane marking was detected on at least one side of the vehicle and warnings can be issued.

So, it just means the car senses the lanes and you CAN activate this feature if you want.

Odd. My last g80 didnt give me this warning ever. While I love BMW technology, some of this shit is just too much disco lights for me.

Any clue how to stop thing thing from popping up? I know where the lines are. I dont need BMW to tell me. lol.

My old 2018 F90 did this too.

Dont the Gs have a button below the headlight knob to turn off lane departure, Like the Fs did?

It automatically activates at 40/45mph. If you don't want it, you'd have to shut off the lane assistant.

You might be able to code the speed in which it activates.

Had this on my G30 and now on the G80. It's there to just let you know 'it's active'.


To stop it from popping up, hit the green circle on your dash, and change your lane departure settings.

The older Gs do. The newer ones integrated it with the other safety features with the green/orange circle next to the hazard lights.

It means you're not driving straight. Stop swervin! Lol

Excellent point. I would think with the setting that you posted that the light would not come on

[wowwitsgau]

Mine stopped turning on once I turned off the setting. Strange that yours still lights on

Ive toggled it on and off a few times and I haven't seen it since. Hopefully I dont see it again.

Thats definitely lane departure. I drove it off the lot, after I took delivery, and onto the highway. I immediately pulled off the highway into a parking lot until I could figure out how to turn it off. I don't remember the settings to turn it off, though.

The orange or green circle on your dash goes right to those settings. You setup the individual section for it to be how you want.

Thanks for the heads up. I was in there, earlier. I also figured out how to completely turn off gesture control. I hate reaching for my drink, and muting the stereo.

Yeah that gesture control isn't for me. I keep doing something that mutes everything. I disabled that too! Lol.

100% I knew it was kind of a gimmick, when I first tried it, but then it started getting annoying, OFF, all OFF.

I had to turn this off also. When i picked the car up i was driving normally in the lane and it kept turning the wheel to the right. I thought a wheel was falling off. Scared the hell out of me. Not sure why it's malfunctioning like that. Does it use the camera on the windshield? I had the car back from PPF when it did this and the sensors on the bumpers are covered. Maybe that?

Mine is a manual. When I was shifting from 2nd to 3rd, it change the SiriusXM channel on me. When I got home, I immediately turned it off. I haven't missed it since. Gesture control is a joke.

100%, Jim. Its horrible.

I think from what I was told when I got my X3 was that when you change the lane departure warning off, it automatically resets to on when you turn ur car off. I dont know if thats the case with the G80. I know we have the m1 and M2 buttons and wondering if there is a way to turn this off in that setting which might make it permanent (like the auto start/stop)

[BugKiller]

Been discussing it in another thread. The 'most hated' feature on my 3 week old M4Cx.

If on, it can be configured as a warning (steering wheel vibration and/or LEDs) and as a control ("intervention"; you have to fight the steering wheel). I have it set now as a warning and have unchecked the box for intervention. In safety features you have to select Individual rather than All for that to work (All means All; Vee are German and we know what is best for you ...). That causes the "halo" button (next to the red triangle blinkers button) to turn orange rather than green as a warning that some safety features are disabled. In my other thread discussion a poster has indicated otherwise but I have yet to figure it out (maybe I have other options off that are triggering the warning).
