I really don't like this option!
The steering wheel is where I really FEEL the road. Those E60's are so high tech, you are rolling over the streets and you can really feel the street only in the steering wheel. A vibration on the steering wheel is nothing I want. And: If somebody falls asleep, his hands will be the first thing that drops. So a vibration of the seat would be much better IMHO.

Exactly. I also think that it's a retarded thing to have, just another electronic gizmo to screw things up. A vibrating seat huh? Would that be kinda like Mercedes' version of the massaging seats?

They don'T do it because Citroen is doing it this way.
Citroen's implementation of an OEM system actually vibrates the side of the seat representing the direction of the potential departure.

this lane deviation would never work on a 3 series, i never see any of them signalling at all
Rather it warns of a potential sideways drift.

AFAIK the Lane Departure System is not as crude as cutting in if a signal isn't given as part of an intended manoeuvre.
Rather it warns of a potential sideways drift.

Iceman mentioned that the first thing you do when you fall sleep is that you let the steering wheel go. Agree that if you happen to fall sleep, that will happen, but you don't immediately fall sleep, you progressively become tired and sleepy and start drifting aside, during that time I would argument that you still have your hands on the wheel and I think this mechanism could be useful and possibly save lives.

Exactly what I was trying to comment on in my initial post (See above)...

A determined change of lane without signalling will not activate the Lane Departure Warning systems actuators or transducers.
