Driver assistance permanently restricted? Distance Control works, Assist Mode doesn't.

"Driver assistance permanently restricted." with a bunch of individual features repated to DAPP disabled message.

This warning came up on my 2026 i4.

Distance Control works fine but when I try to switch to Assist Mode this error pops up.

Has anyone faced this? What was the resolution?

My 2026 i4 Sport got hit in the front bumper corner by a rolling car. The bumper has been pushed up on the corner by one cm and some paint damage.

I will be claiming through insurance however curious to know how much the cost would be and the approximate time to (possibly) replace the bumper from a BMW dealer in the EU.

PS: The incident happened late in the evening and I am yet to get my car assessed by BMW.

Just got hit by an uninsured car taken over for a joyride by a teenager.

Luckily Garda was right there at the accident site and witnessed the accident.

The teen driver fled the scene and was later chased by Gardai. Another Garda took my details and suggested I have 2 options - 1. Start claim through my own insurance, or 2. Claim with MIBI.

I have the entire incident on dashcam and was shared with Garda.

My car is a 261 reg with comprehensive cover. Can anybody recommend the best course to get it sorted.
