Has anyone performed the automated parking function in their M240i yet ?
any videos ??

I demo park assist for a lot of my customers. It's not a bad system. Just watch out for abnormally tall curbs.

I use it every time I park. Likewise, I always use cruise control when I drive. Cruise control is my right ankle. Parking assist is a combination of my feet, hands and eyes.

If I wanted (needed) my car to drive me, I would not have spent so much money on a car that's so nice to drive!

I,use it when I can. Works really well. But as someone else said watch for super high curbs

I find it pretty useful and love it. I can parallel park perfectly without it but I like the system a lot. It's pretty cool for only a $500 option.

Does it park faster then human? And how does it deal with curbs?

It usually gets you in the spot at 1-2 maneuvers. You are responsible for the braking and accelerating as well as changing the gear (R to D and vice versa). It is very useful and I had no issues with the curbs here. I use it almost everytime especially if I'm in a rush and don't have the time to do the perfect parking *OCD Alert*. If you want a video I can record it for you but my car is in service at the moment so I first need it back

It parks faster because it's right the first try. I sees the curb so it's a non issue. For me I seem to park too far away from the curb. I think because I'm afraid of fucking up the wheels. But it works a treat

Yes, that's what I've been hearing about it. Takes a little bit of getting used to.

Not sure if avail on 2 but we have the 360 camera on the wagon. If you're between the two options camera is amazing and renders park assist useless. If you can't park with an overhead view of your car and all surrounding obstacles you really shouldn't be driving.
