Anyway, still getting to know all the cool things this car can do and how to work them.

Your display states :"Assist Plus Ready" which means you haven't even engaged the fully autonomous driving yet, unless you did so after that picture was taken.

When you are notified that "Assist Ready Plus" is available, you have to push the "LIM" button on the steering wheel. Then the car drives 100% autonomously in stop and go traffic up to like 40 mph when it will then disengage.

This is an amazing feature in BMWs, I use it all the time with my M850GC. As long as your speed does not exceed 60km/h this beast is in full control and your don't need to touch the wheel as long as your eyes on the road. If they are not on the road, the Beast starts screaming at you.....

Dont know if I'm ready for the orange circle yet.

Aha, press the LIM button next time. Thanks.

See where I circled, that pops up in stop and go traffic. You then have to engage it to let the car drive hands free....

Here's my Dravit Grey just matte wrapped in Stek DYNOmatte PPF and tinted with Llumar IRX 25, before and after. Dravit Grey continues to "shine" with it's unique color characteristics. And I decided to keep the wheels. 😉

Great color, so much nicer than all the grays blacks and silvers.
