BMW driver assist problems

Owners have filed 584 complaints with NHTSA about the driver-assist systems on BMW vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 57 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the BMW X5, worst in 2024.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
