I purchased a ‘22 x7 in June and I can’t believe I am STILL learning about the functionality in all these packages. Some I haven’t used yet. So THANK YOU for this and your other videos.
Remote start is a MUST in the US you can remotely start the vehicle from the key fob, Apple Watch, or BMW app activate cabin temperature and heated cool seats
I guess it’s an American thinking where environmental issues don’t play a role at all. In Europe we can order an auxiliary heating/cooling function with an extra gas tank. Can be activated via the key fob or an app and the car doesn’t need to be started. Remote start is strictly forbidden in Europe due to environmental regulations. I heard that some US states already banned the remote start function. But hey, „Ubi non unde petitur, ibi non iudex“ (no plaintiff, no judge). 😊
Welcome back to Packages and lemme tell you, I care about my packages. Now why don't we step up here, and everyone get stepped up, and let's get some stepped up packages up in this place! Here we go, we got a 1) Packages, 2) packages, 3) stay outta my packages... I love your videos, man, I just got some serious Philip Jacobs vibes this time xD
I got my 2023 X5 M50i a few weeks ago. I focused more on performance so I added the Dynamic Handling Package, 22 inch wheels in black, and the extended leather. Extremely happy with all of them. Ordering a 330e this weekend, with all of the packages noted here. Hybrids aren't known for performance, so make it driver focused.
They should offer the options on all thier vehicles, I bought 2022 bmw x3 xdrive msport 3.0, I didn't want the 6 cylinder engine and none of these options were available on a 55k car, that a shame because I would have ordered them
I love the glass controls but you can get them as a stand alone option. Don’t see much value in the rest of the Professional Package. Premium package on the other hand has remote start (key in hot climate) and wireless charging which, according to the website builder, you can’t get as options on X5
Yes, I do mention in one of my recent videos how BMW skimps out on some standard features unlike the other brands. In a way it is nice because no 2 BMWs are the same =)
We have a 2020 X3, was on toll road in Mexifornia returning from a gun show in Phoenix. Decided to test adaptive cruise control. Pea fog that at times limited visibility to 15 yards or so. Set the speed to 95 MPH. And sure enough would slow the car when it detected a car in front of me even though I could not see it.
Does BMW currently have or plan to have "night vision" as an option? I recently purchased an Escalade for my work and it has an infrared camera that will detect the heat signature of people or animals far beyond the range of the headlights. This is very important when you live in deer country and I thought an excellent feature.
No word on bringing back the night vision feature for BMW. It does however have some pretty cool safety systems that can detect pedestrians crossing and apply the brakes, im sure it should work for a deer too =)
Hey Celialee! I do have one of the park assistance feature and drivers assistance! Check it out. Self Park ruclips.net/video/hJX9f2NQhps/видео.html Self Drive ruclips.net/video/FtauBmUQ7Ak/видео.html
Do you think 2024 model of x5 or 5 series will have the infotainment full screen(big screen ) like the one in 2023 3 & 7 series. Becautgats what is stopping me to buy “The 5” now and wait for another year.
Correct I would wait for the 2024 I believe it will most likely be released at the end of 2023 and most certain that it will have the curve display. There are already some spy photos of the new X5 and five series.
Couldn't find videos explaining exactly these packages in detail.. thanks a lot! Which parts/modes do you find most useful from the Driver's Assistance Professional package? Right now, due to supply chain problems, it is not possible to order BMW 3 with the Driver's Assistance Professional package in Germany, only Driver's Assistance + Speed Limiter with Stop & Go function. I was wondering if this is really such a big deal or if these two are sufficient. The differences are that the Pro package supports assistance up to 210km/h and non-pro only up to 160km/h, plus the Pro package has active lane keeping while the non-pro only has lane leaving warning with steering wheel vibrations.
Anytime Jakub! Glad I was able to help you! I did not know about the shortages there in regards to the package. Honestly the traffic jam stop and go is the most important feature to me. Drivers assistance is good when there is no traffic on the road. But I will always find myself using it when I'm stuck in traffic because it does stress me out and the feature helps reduce that stress. The 160kmh is more than enough for the package but I will say the lane keeping assist is also a must. If you ask me, I would wait for the PRO. BMW is having supply chain issues, but they have been resolving it rather quickly with many of them such as the touch screen shortage was only for about 3 months, and the wireless charger was about 7 months. So if you have the option to wait, i would!
Just got a new 22 plate G23 / 4 series cpnvertable that was a BMW demo vehicle so its got the comfort & tech plus packs and the m Sport plus pack and lighting options so iv a lot to learn compared to the 20plate C class convertable it's replaced so I'm gonna be making use of loads of your videos lol
I have got 1 question to kick off with and prob gonna sound stupid to anyone who's owned one of these but I couldn't find out how to put the cruise control on without it having to be in assisted driving mode where it brakes and trys to stop you changing lane without indicating etc how do you just turn on cruise without any other assistance please As stated I have techplus and Driving assistance pro if that makes a difference in this instance
Hi there, thanks you for an informative video. Qq for you. Do you know if oxide grey for I5 X 40 is same shade as I7 or is the oxide grey shade different on I7?
Hey Ginny, great to hear from you again. Simply make sure, windows are closed (sunroof etc). Make sure wipers are fully off (not in auto) and lastly when you start hearing the beeping sounds when the brushes are cleaning your car, press the parking assistance button to turn off the sounds (P with a Cone button, near the shifter)
How does driving assist work when someone changes lanes in front of you very closely. I know my Audi has a little bit of a delay and seems to not react right away
It’s about the same. The vehicle won’t immediately react to it unless it’s a potential danger. It does this on purpose to avoid and jerky braking or acceleration and keeping the system nice and smooth.
In the traffic jam mode (assist plus) you don't have to touch the wheel. If you do get one of the new BMWs with highway assistant, they increased the speed up to 85 mph where you do not have to touch the wheel.
Yes a lot of stock honda's have this feature and it's great to have. I find myself using it everyday, but it's mainly only used if you do a lot of highway driving.
Sorry but parking assistant professional is just an overrated party trick. You don’t need it. My wife’s car has it. I just back up like normal using the reverse camera and mirrors.
this i have these expensive features with my 2022 X4 M40I that I don't need "parking assistant" and they did not give me the heated/Ventilated Seats😡they want me to pay extra
I purchased a ‘22 x7 in June and I can’t believe I am STILL learning about the functionality in all these packages. Some I haven’t used yet. So THANK YOU for this and your other videos.
Anytime Dana, thats why I am here! Were there any videos you'd want done on?
Remote start is a MUST in the US you can remotely start the vehicle from the key fob, Apple Watch, or BMW app activate cabin temperature and heated cool seats
Correct!! I would never buy a vehicle without it.

@CassieAfricanQueen remote start is $300 option by itself or included with premium package ll depending on the region you’re in

The executive package also includes the heated/cooled cup holders! They’re wonderful!
Correct!! Missed those!
It’s a pity -there is restriction on heated/cooled cup holders right now. I ordered a new car but Icould not order that option
@@AnjayGzg Correct, so far from what I’ve seen BMW has been fixing those issues in a matter of 2-3 months. If you can wait for it I would.
I don’t think so

Great spec! And congrats on the incoming 2nd BMW. The drivers assist is my favorite package of all time.
I waited a month to find one with these 3 packages since my Acura and Lexus have em and they really spoil you. Can’t wait for the Beamer.
They should offer the options on all thier vehicles, I bought 2022 bmw x3 xdrive msport 3.0, I didn't want the 6 cylinder engine and none of these options were available on a 55k car, that a shame because I would have ordered them
True. The adaptive cruise control is actually a standard feature in lexuses and even Hondas. Wish BMW would do the same one day!
I love the glass controls but you can get them as a stand alone option. Don’t see much value in the rest of the Professional Package. Premium package on the other hand has remote start (key in hot climate) and wireless charging which, according to the website builder, you can’t get as options on X5
Agreed. Premium package is by far the most practical. I love executive but it’s more aesthetics.
Yes I looked for a month to get these on a 2022 preowned. Although some of them are standard on Lexus It really makes life easy and classy.
Yes, I do mention in one of my recent videos how BMW skimps out on some standard features unlike the other brands. In a way it is nice because no 2 BMWs are the same =)
Thanks for breaking this down ! Does the x5m comp come with sky lounge ? I don't see it on the 2023 "build your own" thanks
It actually does not. I do not know why but it’s been like that for a couple years now.
@@BeamerView Well dang that sucks man was looking forward to that feature on a new one. Does it come on the older ones 2020? thanks Merry Christmas

That’s amazing. Never thought it would see better than the naked eye!

Great video as I was test driving an X5 today and the website isn't always clear about the options.
Thank you, and agreed. It provides just a brief overview but not a good explanation of these amazing features! Congrats on your future X5 ;)
Would love o see video to all park and driver assist features.

Amazing car! Congrats.
i have a g20 2019 and it has every package it’s great but some features i hardly ever use like the driver pro pack
Driver's assist pro is great for those traffic jams, outside of that i barely use it.
@@BeamerView for sure but something like that should be standard since most new lower end cars are starting to get radar and lane keeping standard

They are great!
Can you tell me 3 best packages we should get for a BMW M340i
Drivers assistance Pro, and parking assistance plus for sure. Shadowline is a must for me.

Yes they do come loaded!
Hi there, thanks you for an informative video. Qq for you. Do you know if oxide grey for I5 X 40 is same shade as I7 or is the oxide grey shade different on I7?
All the colors are very consistent with all BMW models.
I know this off topic but I want to know if the 2024 bmw series 3 330e xdrive sedan have ambient lights if you get the M sport package
Im pretty sure it's a standard feature now.
What is the leather interior color in your car please (for reference)?
Tartufo! It is one of the best ones.
@@BeamerView Very nice. You don't see it as often. Thank you!
Hi, I don’t see the executive package as an option for the X4 xdrive i30, is this only for certain builds?
Hey there, yes it is only avaliable for higher end models such as X5+ and 7series+.
My 2020 x5m has all the packages here but no sky lounge:(
Correct, Not sure why that is but it has been the case for a while now.
Does it comes with the X4 package?
What’s the X4 package ?
@@BeamerView BMW'S vehicles. The line ups are X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7. You mentioned it is featured in X3, X5 and X7 vehicles. Is it in the X4?

How do you rev the 45e in idle? Doesn’t let me
Ahh don’t think you can while you’re stationary. You may have to do a rolling rev
Our X7 has all three packages but unfortunately the car came with LED lights instead of BMW Laser. 😢
Yes those aren’t available just yet. Congrats on the brand new x7 though!
If I got to keep touching the wheel I might as well just drive it myself! That feature cost over a $1000!
In the traffic jam mode (assist plus) you don't have to touch the wheel. If you do get one of the new BMWs with highway assistant, they increased the speed up to 85 mph where you do not have to touch the wheel.
if you are going to talk about a feature, why not demonstrate it, and not just talk about it. . . :-(
Theres another video talking about the feature with a demo on the channel already..
Link please
…you must get … if you’re willing to pay 10k more in extras…
