I've been driving my '21 M3LR for a couple of months now, just as I have driven any other vehicle before (obviously way more exciting than your average car!).
Nearly every single time I drive now I get beeps and warnings and in some cases interventions made incorrectly by the car itself.
There are a few roads around where I live (Biggin Hill, Kent, UK) where there are country roads that I know for certain can fit two regular-sized cars side-by-side which a fair amount of space between the shrubbery / fences on the left and the oncoming vehicle on your right (just for any left hand-drive, right-side of the road folk reading this, we drive right-hand drive on the left-side of the road). Just for clarity on the size of the roads here, if it was Model X vs Model X you would have to slow down and pass graciously. That being said I like to consider myself a confident driver and drivers alike will drive at 40 or 60mph down these roads which is the legal speed limit (although sometimes I do question someone forgot to limit the speed in some places).
There are times where I very slightly edge to the left of the road when an oncoming vehicle approaches just to offer more space for myself and them, this is the problem - I'd say 10% of the time my car will take over and move to the center of the lane moments before passing the oncoming vehicle because of the emergency lane departure system which in turn will then immediately prompt the "red car coming at you fast, you are gonna crash and die sound/warning", which I then have to counter the cars incorrect move to the center of the lane by driving back to the left as quickly as I can. When I say "very slightly edge to the left" I mean not to the point I'm going to hit anything there is still "plenty" of space for a seasoned British country road driver. Just as I side note to this, I really dislike that the mirrors unfold when you go above 30mph, which is what you need for these roads, does anyone know how to turn this off?
Also, this may be unrelated I was in slow moving traffic on a 30mph road, I must have sped up to around 7-8mph to just move up to the car in front, I started pressing the brake pedal gently to come to a stop behind the vehicle in front of me. This has only happened once, but the car put on the emergency brakes without any warning or sound! I felt the brake pedal depress further underneath my foot and the car jolted to a halt. Fortunately there was no incident but I know for certain that I wasn't going to hit anything. For the rest of the journey it said "Automatic vehicle brake hold is disabled" which I had to clear by turning it off and on again.
Anyone else experience these problems, particularly the country road dilemma I am having?
All the best everyone! Interested to hear what you have to say. O.
