I'll be impressed when it drives over to the grocery store on it's own and does my shopping.  THAT is what I want.

Could be useful for parking into narrow garages or tight spots, provided the fancy remote won't fail to start the car and pull it out when needed. Does it use any sensors not to run into things?

Can't wait for all the YT videos of people doing this and hitting things.

Love that colour though.

That is the most ridiculous, over-designed key fob I've ever seen.  A key fob that won't fit into my pant pockets is as useful as shorts during a Montreal winter. 

Its kitsch "look at me" features like this which buyers of these cars live for so they can put on a nice little circus act for their friends and then never use them again.

only thing i got from this vid is,  Wing has nice house....

and that it takes so long for bmw to park itself, a blind senior with arthritis could have parked and run back in the house to use washroom and then come back out for a smoke in that period of time.

There is a joke about giving multiple "fogs" there somewhere.  :P

But 90 grand is 90 grand. That buys a lot more than this bimmer whose sensors will get all confused under an inch of snow. And then it will ram your door  :rofl2:
