Thumbs down Mid Year changes M6

Right the NEW (to M6 anyway) High Beem Assist will be on cars from build week 27 which is 30th June/7th July.
My M6 GC CP is being built week 29 so will have it.
The other changes are : M buttons will have written on them 1 set, 2 set, not a great change.
and the HUD will have a demo mode for showroom customers, again what the Feck for?.
PS) I gram reduction in CO2 from the engines!!!!!, what that means I don't know.

LOL- don't knock Demo Mode on the HUD! When the Police stopped me last month all I could demo was the M Sport Rev counters (ooooops!) and the Phone list! He loved it, and the car and the sound and the looks and the toys - but still gave me 3 points though :-(

He got me at 46, 54 and 51 as I overtook a pedal bike on a Dual Carriage where the limit was 40. He spent 20 minutes chatting about the car and then after all that 'work' I put in he still gave me a ticket for the 54 although I was already slowing down before I saw him. I was hoping for a 'Driving School' but unfortunately not. Only pain/annoyance was that he was hiding behind a sign in Reading and got me from 345 meters away. #nochance

Annoying. Why on earth didn't they do that in Week 10 with the other model year changes?

Oh well. Pick mine up Saturday and don't drive out of town much at night! (In fact don't drive much at all but suspect that will change...)

You might just be lucky as some cars will get HBA upgrade just before, it's pot-luck.

According to my source at BMW North America, there are U.S. DOT requirements that unfortunately prevent BMW from offering the Anti-Dazzle High Beam Assist in the U.S.

It really is the shits when you sit there and chat about the car for a while thinking "ahhh this guy is cool he is gonna let me off" and then BOOM here comes the ticket.

Sounds like it's time for a radar and/or laser jammer system my friend.

Yep good idea, Listers are going to "Store" mine for a week or two, they will need to transfer the Camera and Snooper from the M5 as well.

Here in the UK, the boys in Blue are well acquainted with these and look for them on cars if they can't get a reading, if found big trouble.
Perverting the course of justice and the like.
Is it worth the risk?.

I've not bothered with detectors for years, the new section of the 'widened' M25 near Clackets has these new speed cameras beside the road, theyve been flashing loads since they opened it up. Seems pointless going too fast anywhere much these days, few nice roads with good visibility still around

I honestly don't know if there would be a difference between the two, but my '15 650XI M Sport has all the new features mentioned such as HBA as well as the new iDrive controller and now the Sport Display (with HP&TQ) is standard and doesn't need to be coded, so you might get lucky and have them on your car.

I forget the production week, but mine was built on 04.03.14.

Either way, I'm sure you'll enjoy it none the less!! Congrats on the new car!

Yea my US-spec car has the high-beam assist, stock. It's useful on those long, super dead highway drives with no one for miles but virtually useless in the city and on regular streets.

Mine has High Beam Assist (where the lights automatically flip from dipped to full when no traffic is detected ahead). What we are talking about here (and apparently is coming in the next update) is Adaptive High Beam Assist which has all sorts of lighting modes, light tunnels etc with the intention of delivering a high beam like experience even when other traffic is coming.

Very nice vid, presumably headlights now don't need adjusting for left or right hand drive cars...

We have it and I barely use it.. if ever. In the city its pretty pointless and I am not sure how to use in on the freeway without blinding someone.
