Has anyone had this? See picture. I select the front end collision warning and it never stays on. Not the end of the world but wonder why this doesn't stay on.

Weird, the text says it will automatically be on on next start of the vehicle though.

How are you trying to turn it on?  Via clicking the idrive press on the checkbox or via the front collision button in the console?

I think mine is an older version of idrive compared to yours so perhaps it is different somehow.

Hi

My collision warning system on my E70 is the wife, when she's in the car and she shouts brake  :))

When you press the button it takes it to the menu, then choose via iDrive. You can set them all ticked but when the screen goes back and you go in again it's off. The crazy thing is it only keeps two of the three options on at any time.

Yes and also speed control, lane departure, anti-road rage check and removing any music that isn't Classic FM

Hi

Going back to putting them all on, I think it may be you have to change the settings as per link below which is on intelligent safety and it then gives you the option to select All

On the new iDrive software, it does not have a 'select all function' I suspect a software issue.
