[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

This so called safety aid is utter wank.

At best it is annoying and frustrating, at worst it is dangerous.

I've resorted to the most 'reduced' settings but it still vibrates the wheel as it tries to drag the car where I don't want it to go.

It takes 8 prods of the touch screen to disable each time the car is started......but is back again when the car is next started. I wonder if there is a shortcut I'm not aware of.

Does anyone have experience of this?

I really dislike this electronic nanny.

Juding by the video on YT it looks like you have done what you can.

Havent flicked through th rest.

Apparently not. Like start/stop on lesser cars, it is on by default at start up. As you know, you can stop it wrenching the steering wheel from your grasp, but you're still going to get the vibration.

Could something like Tech 2 be used with the right prgram to dissable it?

No, it's a safety feature.

I may take an axe to it.

Safety feature my arse. I think it is more likely to cause an accident rather than prevent one.

If I had to press just one physical button I wouldn't mind, but the way to disable it is buried within menu, sub menu, and more menu because it is all controlled via the touchscreen.

Same with the climate control. What exactly is wrong with buttons.

Buy a car designed for young, tech savvy people, and this is what you get.
Shame they stopped using the starting handle, eh?

Stay in the middle of your lane and you'll be fine

Just a thought....maybe someone in the know could disable the actual device that vibrates the steering wheel. By disable I mean physically cut the wires to the little bastard or something. Not something I'd want to do to a two day old car, but if it's driving you mental.......

[Marks DTM Calib]

There are usually two levels,

Lane departure warning which should not activate if you are using indicators when changing lane or using a junction...........its a BMW so clearly the indicators are not an option.

The second is an emergency lane departure warning, this one you can't disable as its a 'safety' level feature and all cars must be preset to the mode they passed in at every key on. It can kick in when it thinks you are about to crash off the side of the road or hit a barrier.........of course its an ADAS function so not brilliant

That will be a column or rack mounted motor which also does the equivalent of the powe steering.........so an excellent option

……..

That’s not the problem on BMW’s Mark, the problem is that the software will see a shiny tarmac repair strip running inline with the road as a white line and physically move the car out of line. It’s downright dangerous, but on the earlier (2020) vehicles fitted with virtual cockpit you can turn it off each time you start up, but not disable it permanently I believe. When turned off, the little green car between the two lines on the display disappears.

I was gonna buy one of them beemers, glad I didn't bother now

Her XE, the land assist seems to be sticky, in the it stays off between starts.  Actually, I think the shitbox Vauxhall 208 Enterprise keep giving me has a sticky lane assist toggle...
