Driving Assistant/Plus 20''468M

Post by Bob1098R » Fri Aug 01, 2014 10:22 pm

Can anyone advise what you get with driving assistant/plus ?

Is it just me or does anyone else find the description of the options available pretty poor  :(

Also I was in the dealers today for a test drive and they couldn't find the 20'' 468M wheels as an option on their system ???

The difference between da and da+ is active cruise control stop n go, plus the traffic jam assistant.

ACC is the dogs

Agree, have the DA+ on my F15. It's a must, especially if doing long journeys, where the ACC comes in very handy. I have the 20" 468M wheels also - IMO they are by far the best looking of all the wheel options, although not sure if the wheel options have changed (picked up my car on launch night last November  :xmaswink:).

Thanks for the input guys,
I've added DA+ this morning , i had something similar in a Volvo hire car recently and it was great, it will be a real benefit when I'm towing my trailer,

I think your right ,the 468 have been discontinued which is a shame as they were by far the best looking 20'' option IMO, i might give the 469's the ferric grey treatment when i get them, it worked well on my current motor,
Cheers  :)

Just checked on the BMW website, and I can still spec. the 468M alloys on a new X5?! Also noticed some cool new additions that were not available when I ordered my motor  :(!

I think there are a few discrepancies between the customer & dealer configurators & the accessory hard copy catalogue sits somewhere in between  ,

I'll keep an eye on the wheel situation, the 468M was not showing as available in the dealers yesterday but i'll keep asking.
