all the driver assistance features will stop you hitting the sides. i'd be clearing the garage out, sticking up a camera in the garage and tucking it up!!

I managed to get a 5 series into my garage with both mirrors folded. The space inside of my garage is actially quite good. I managed to detail the 5 series when it's inside the garage. The trouble is the door. I think the builder was trying to save some money here so that they specified a quite narrow door. After the 5 series, I think I will not put any car inside the garage, which results in tons of rubbish down on the floor, up in the roof, and hang in the air.

It will have dependant on the options specified. I think that it's "Driving Assistant" that gives you the all round sensors

It is! I found that out yesterday. Couldn’t believe how much info was coming up on the screen. Previous g29 only had front and back.

Based on what I read and understand from the BMW configurator, the even with the Driving Assistant pack (gives you ACC and driving assistant), it does not have the parking assistant which can actively monitor the surrounding when you park the car and apply the brake when you are going to hit anything. I think the driving assistant will only help you or give you any warning when the car is driven at certain speed range which is much faster than the speed when I try to carefully move the car through the narrow garage door. Maybe someone with the Driving Assistant pack can try reversing into an object (e.g traffic cone or wheelie bin wrapped by bubble wrap
) and whether the car will brake for you? I once tried this on the G31 and it can but that car has the parking assistant plus package which is not available for G29.
Haven't been in to the car yet since the snow. But I think if the car is already very humid inside then subsequently the condensation caused by the cold, won't this affect any vehicles not only soft top? I found my g31 is more humid inside the car than the z4 but I'm pretty sure the G31 isn't leaking. This is actually reflected by the amount of condensation with the temp dropped. The glasses are full of condensation when the outside is covered by snow but the inside of z4 has no condensation at all even with 5cm of snow covering the windscreen, rear window and the top now.B21 said:

My G31 has proper winter tyre on 17 inch wheel so the z4 is not necessarily to have them although I’m considering getting some for the z4.
Just overtook many 4*4 today when the snow was at its heaviest. Someone even stopped me at the bottom of the hill to tell me there’s no way my rwd bmw can go up as their 4*4 failed to do so. All I could do was saying thanks then climbed up the hill without any drama at all then watched their shocking face.
