Automated Remote Parking

Hi Everyone,
I've just recevied my 530d g30 and I've got the remote parking functionnality.

I was playing around with it and I have a question. does someone know if the car will stop automatically in front of an object or else?
Thanks for your feedbakcs

It will stop. But there aren't sensors on the side of the car so be careful. I've noticed mine likes to suddenly start turning as it comes out of the garage and I'm not convinced it'll stop before scraping the passenger door.

Edit: but it definitely stops about a foot before any object in front or behind. If you're in the car you can override this by continuing to accelerate but with the remote it won't go again in that direction.

hey, thanks a lot, I read indeed that it would more or less turn whilst going forward.
As for the stop I didn't have the courage to test :-D

I've tested the stop both in front and back. I've also tested at front corner. It stops in all situations without any issues. The other day, I walked in front of the car by coming in from the side and it applied the emergency brakes. So I reckon it's got all the bases covered.

It annoys me a bit that you can't really stand in front of the car to bring it forwards. Key ends up saying 'come closer to car'
