Question for you guys, lane departure

[fll_punk]

Not being familiar with the implementation on the F80 for lane departure warning, is this normal?

I feel little to no actual steering wheel vibration, but more of this weak rattling sound.

Id like to know before I take it back to the dealer, thanks ya'll! Link to audio of it below:

steering wheel vibration is what this function supposed to do. The rattling noise may come from loosening parts around that area.

I will not worry about this at all.

the wheel will also vibrate for blindspot as well if you change lanes and the car thinks there is a car in your area. it's just a vibration, no it's not a strong vibration but just enough to get your attention.

It's just a very subtle vibration to get your attention.

Nothing like on the G20 330 that I had recently as a loaner. That thing pretty much yanks the wheel back to center if it senses that you are straying, or even if changing lanes without a signal as on an empty road. Annoying doesnt even begin to describe it...I felt that kind of active intervention was downright dangerous.

Worst part was that I had to actually fight the steering to continue with the lane change. Hated it.

Well guys!!! Mystery solved!!
Turns out there was a label loose on the housing of the vibrator and it made that playing card in the bmx spokes sound. Label reaffixed and relocated
Problem fixed!!!

Good, but do you understand the vehicle response to lane departure vs blind sport monitoring, with respect to the unique options on your car?

yes, it was definitely an issue. prior to the label removal the steering column made the noise you'd associate with a poker card on the spokes of your childhood bicycle.
The steering column rumble was present but with an audible noise as mentioned above.

I know its been a while since this thread was active, but my F80 is making this same exact noise when the lane departure warning goes off. Where is the motor located? Does it require removal of anything to get to it?

It’s inside the steering wheel. Pop the airbag off (read how to do this safely), take the trim of the face of the wheel and you should see the motor in the lower left part of the steering wheel.

Easy but mind the airbag. Disconnect the BATTERY!

Go easy and all the connections are straightforward and very had to screw up but I suppose someone can if they try hard enough.

For what it’s worth I’ve owned a M4 without drivers assistance package and an M3 with drivers assistance package and can say without hesitation the drivers assistance package is the stupidest thing ever and not worth .10.

I didn't think the button worked on my M4 because the vibration is more or less the vibration you feel from the dots on highway lanes anyway. Disappointing tech for sure.
