I’m currently driving a G20 340i MSport. I hate the lane departure warning and turned if off when I bought the car, thankfully it’s stayed off. I’m now thinking of changing to a i4 M50 and apparently the LDW cannot be disabled permanently, see below.

Has anyone found a work around?


BMWs have also made it easy to banish the lane departure warning system, which ruins the driving experience thanks to the highly annoying steering intervention. Not anymore. You now have to press a button on the central screen to bring up icons for lots of car controls, then scroll all the way to the bottom, find the car icon, then press that and select the controls for safety systems, then switch off the lane departure warning system and the steering intervention. And you have to do this every time you start the car. Doing this when driving will mean that you’ll have taken your eyes off the road for so long that you’re much more likely to crash than would be the case if you didn’t have the lane departure warning system in the first place.

Yeah, I didn't buy one - you could always do the same.
