BMW X1 Driving Assistant Plus (UK)

Hello.

I have tried to run this question by BMW and various dealers but to put it simply they don't seem to know anything about the car. I was told that 'Park Assist' on the BMW X1 meant that it has parking sensors... They had no knowledge that it has a semi-autonomous parallel parking ability.

BMW told me Traffic Jam Assist is a more advanced version of Lane Keeping Assistant, which would indicate the BMW X1, which has Traffic Jam Assist would also have Active Lane Keeping Assist. However, the information on BMWs main site does not indicate this. Having completely lost faith in the manufacturer and dealers I am hoping an owner/expert here will know the answer.

The UK BMW comes with an option for Driving Assistant Plus. It states that this includes:

Lane Departure Warning
Front collision warning with brake intervention
High-beam Assistant
Speed Limit Info
Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function
Traffic jam Assist.

I want to know if this also includes Active Lane Keeping Assist?

From what I can piece together Traffic Jam assist keeps you centred in a lane at low speeds (up to 24mph if you can believe the BMW site). If you are at higher speeds the term 'Active Lane Keeping Assist' gets used. Does this mean that for some reason the BMW X1 just stops maintaining your lane position at speeds of over 24mph?

If anyone out there has one of these cars with Driving Assistant Plus, can they please just tell me what it actually does in reality.

Thank you for any help you can offer!
