the record thing is awesome. I made a recording for getting into my garage and now I don't have to worry about the wifey parking in the middle of the garage

Great question! Yes, you can record it backing into your driveway and it will memorize shift points (AKA: where you shifted the car from drive into reverse) as well.
@@mikey8168 Great question! The backup assistant only works in reverse gear. So backing into a parking space essentially cancels the backup assistant. But you could record a path to start where the other path ended (and you can record paths going forward and or backward).
Thank You and great question! If there is an unexpected object in the way while the car is maneuvering, the car should stop and it will usually say recorded path parking canceled, obstacle in the way or something to that effect.
I have the same exact issue and so I save the recorded path as soon as the front of the car enters the garage. However, there is still a downside because the car engages park at the end of the recorded path and turns the car off and I still must drive a couple of feet into the garage to get the car completely in….
Question: For a Pre Order, Does BMW allow customers to special order certain options that are wanted? Specifically, I would like to add the Bowers and Wilkins audio system and 22 sport rims ???
How precise do you have to be on the starting point for a return path parking path? Does my vehicle have to start out at exactly the same spot when I initiate the recorded path? Or if I am just sort of close to it? Is the margin or error inches...feet? Please LMK. Thanks in advance!
Hi! So you do have to be pretty spot on for the geotag. I am actually trying to figure out how much variance there is when it comes to this but for now I'd say you have to be super close. I do have a part 2 video that is a practical demo of the feature... and in filming that video, there were times where the recording would not show up because I was off, by probably a foot or so but not too sure (I forgot to measure...). Here's the link to part 2: czcams.com/video/6vs1wFMvuvs/video.html&pp=ygUVZ3QgYm13IHJlY29yZGVkIHBhdGgg
Great question! So for the recorded path parking, you can brake if you feel uncomfortable. However, grabbing the steering wheel will cancel the feature and shut it off. With that being said, if your recorded path requires multiple points to get into it (like a 3 point turn for example) it can recorded and saved in the path.
Hi! Regarding the new 5 series/i5, the parking assistant pro feature in the US is something that has to be purchased after the fact for a flat fee of $220 or it can be bought in monthly subscription packages. Personally, I think they should have added it to the car as a package and not only through an after market purchase.
I appreciate the feedback! The wind is not your friend when it comes to these kinds of videos! I need to get a wind sock for the mic. And it doesn’t help being right next to the airport with all the planes landing!
@GTBMW1 heard from my friend who drove an x7 demo vehicle and it crashed into another car, while parking with this feature,. ofcourse my x7 is also behaving weird, where it goes thru y path when i expect it to go through x path (recorded), and upon deletion of the recorded path assuming its not working perfectly, and making a new recording making it more worst than the previous,. it hit my flower bed which got broken/destructed,. weird,. no six sigma testing seem to have been done by the guys at bmw.@@GTBMW1
@@GTBMW1 sorry for the delay, my issue is l am wanting to record a difficult path to reverse into my garage but it requires a bit of forward and reverse to maneuver...will this work or must the forward be saved in conjunction with the reverse or should l just forget about attempting. The reason is my wife is reluctant to park in the garage and always has me do it for her.. if i could record the procedure it would make my life easier .
@@davebl9645 I have a recorded path into my garage which pulls forward, stops near a fence and then backs into my garage. It works well. I just have to be in the right spot for the option to pop up and then I can start the maneuver. It's great!
Great question! Product specialist role is different from a salesman. We don’t sell cars. We show cars to customers (on occasion), handle test drives, do product orientations for new owners, etc. Technically BMW’s name for them is “BMW Genius”.
@@GTBMW1 ive never used the auto reverse path function on my '22 X5 45e (its part of the Technology Pack) and it only did 50 meters - at least this now moves in both directions 😅
@@krzzzy19 the drive recorder and surround cameras are definitely worth it. The back up assistant on the previous (2023 and before) only memorized 150ft of prior maneuvers. So far on the 2024’s I’ve been seeing paths being memorized of up to 650ft…
I don't know what he means by delivery. Your video was outstanding. Your command of the English language is superb. The clarity of your presentation is excellent.
Good job summarizing the key info with detail but without too much fluff
Thank You! I still need to practice at that though. Always a work in progress haha!
I've visited 4 dealers pricing X5's and none of them explained the option like you did! Thank you.

It’s an amazing feature sent from the heavens above! I even used it in my own garage (see practical demo video). It’s a god-send!
I’m about to do the same thing for my wife right now 😀
would have been nice, for your to show which menu items needs to pressed, in order to access this mode, especailly for new BMW owners. Thanks
Thanks. Very helpful. I will definitely try this on our 2025. I think we have these options.
I’m glad you found it helpful! Let me know what you think and congratulations on the new 2025!
very good video, it is teaching me about my new car. Appreciate you cut right to the matter without crazy video stuff. ++++!!

3:57 for this, can you press the accelerator hard make it go faster with it does steering itself? Or if you go too fast its gonna stop operating?
Could you record it backing into your driveway so you can have it back in automatically and you drive out forwards every time?
Great question! Yes, you can record it backing into your driveway and it will memorize shift points (AKA: where you shifted the car from drive into reverse) as well.
In this case, what would happen when you do "back up" out of the space? It goes forward? Thank you. @@GTBMW1
@@mikey8168 Great question! The backup assistant only works in reverse gear. So backing into a parking space essentially cancels the backup assistant.

Can we use this while out of the car using the remote control parking?
Awesome
Great video! What happens if there is an unexpected object in the way of the recorded path next time you use it?
Thank You and great question! If there is an unexpected object in the way while the car is maneuvering, the car should stop and it will usually say recorded path parking canceled, obstacle in the way or something to that effect.
The Recorded Path seems to lose its signal once I get fully inside the garage.. I never get prompted to "Save Recording". Any ideas?

Good question! Unfortunately in the US the Bowers and Wilkins sound system is not available in the 40i models.

@@GTBMW1 Thanks! So how can you tell when you are at the starting point of the recorded path? Does it show that on the display?
@@jarrettgorin hi!
Yes, it should automatically pop up on the screen.
When recording (in reverse) does it have to be one smooth backup or can you break to reangle your position?
Great question!
So for the recorded path parking, you can brake if you feel uncomfortable. However, grabbing the steering wheel will cancel the feature and shut it off. With that being said, if your recorded path requires multiple points to get into it (like a 3 point turn for example) it can recorded and saved in the path.
Can you explain how to use this with a camper?
Hi, did they remove the recorded path feature in iDrive 8.5? I don't have it in my i5 despite having Parking Assistant Pro.

To Much Wind Noise other wise Good.

Does this work in the M440i with the Parking Assistant Plus package?
Great question!
Unfortunately it will not. It requires parking assistant professional which is only available on the 5 series and up as of right now.
does this come with the basic package or what is the extra package called to get this feature
The package needed to get this feature is the Parking Assistance Package which is $900.
Let’s say u realize you parked wrongly after saving the record path. How would you remove/ delete the recorded path??
To remove a recorded path, you need to go into the parking settings and there should be a tan for recorded paths and you can delete them from there.
@GTBMW1 heard from my friend who drove an x7 demo vehicle and it crashed into another car, while parking with this feature,. ofcourse my x7 is also behaving weird, where it goes thru y path when i expect it to go through x path (recorded), and upon deletion of the recorded path assuming its not working perfectly, and making a new recording making it more worst than the previous,. it hit my flower bed which got broken/destructed,. weird,. no six sigma testing seem to have been done by the guys at bmw.@@GTBMW1
so please for clarification tell me , it does not record a path while reversing? it only records while in drive and not reverse?
Great question! It can record a path in either direction!

Disappointing to discover that this feature is not included in the package for the i4
Dammit. I was just going to ask
I’m right there with ya… I wish it was available on more cars!
Блин очень машина Крутая, я ее обожаю, но стрелочки над бардачком светящиеся какая то фигня, лучше б сделали как в Х7
Cool technology but rarely used not worth the price should be standard equipment
Tech is nice but I agree that it will most likely be rarely used for the time being.
@@GTBMW1 ive never used the auto reverse path function on my '22 X5 45e (its part of the Technology Pack) and it only did 50 meters - at least this now moves in both directions 😅
Useless on the 45e. Pretty much paying for it because of the 360 camera and drive recorder.
