Anyway, such things are not unique to BMWs so should really be omitted from the list.
The good thing with BMW is the lane assist can be dialled down permanently to a mere buzz of the wheel and it only operates above ~40mph. You should see Toyota’s version. It will pull your arm off at 10mph.

BMW's lane assist can be turned off completely, at least in the US. Mine was turned off before I ever left the dealer's parking lot.
Back in college we studied the 'hot coffee spill' in a law class, and there was some justification to the lawsuit. The coffee was waaaay beyond "hot" and McDonald's intentionally dialed up the temp well past the norm so your coffee would still be hot when you finished your commute and got to work. Good intentions, but at a dangerous level.
