544 Cruise Control With Braking Function

TURBO4DR · 06-20-2017, 11:45 AM

This is in my build sheet from VIN but I don't believe I have this function at all. I thought it required a separate radar unit on bumper area? Does it have to be enabled a certain way?

Thanks everyone!

This is normal cruise control that will brake when going downhill etc. Not the adaptive one that uses the distance between cars in front of you.

Ahh thanks that would explain a lot. Got used to this feature in other car and felt like it was missing

When I bought my BMW the Adaptive Cruise Control was an essential requirement. I learned that very few BMWs coming to dealers (not preordered) have ACC. To get me my car with the features I wanted my dealer had to buy the car from a dealer in another state.
