BMW 5 Series: Parking Maneuvering Assistant
The Parking Maneuvering Assistant (PMA) supports the driver in many ways. The
assistant measures
the size of a gap between cars and decides, based on the result, whether the gap
is large enough to
accommodate the vehicle. It also relieves the driver of the task of maneuvering
into the space.
The Parking Maneuvering Assistant (OE 5DP) is no longer available as an
individual item of optional
equipment.
The Parking Maneuvering Assistant is included in the Parking Assistant, optional
equipment
(OE 5DM), in the G30.
Parking Assistant (OE 5DM) is available only in conjunction with the
automatically dipping exterior
mirror, optional equipment (OE 4T8).
