Essentially what you need is:

ACC radar
ICM High
DSC Mk100 “ACC”
ABS sensors
(Brake lines)
Bumper modification + brackets
Steering wheel buttons
Cabling

Because of your Drivers Assistant Package, you may or may not have some component already, but in principle is ACC independent from the Drivers Assistant Package.

Thank you Jimmert; I also have the Adaptive Suspension to complicate things further.

From what I understand at this point I would need the DSC and ICM to come from a car that had the Adaptive Suspension, is that correct?

Thank you!

Hi,

I would like to start the process of retrofitting ACC to my 2012 F31.
Can anyone please confirm if this is the DSC that I need?
Seems that is coming from an F10 2013.

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Theres two types of DSC's-with different hard line attach configurations. Check your current one to make sure the hard line attach points are in the same configuration.


Also check realoem to verify part number compatability.

Hi man, no absolutely wrong. f10 dsc is NOT same as f30, regardless of acccor not version.

+41784057964 my WhatsApp- send me a message, I can help you get all parts needed for Acc retrofit. We have done 2 f10 Lci and 2 f3x in December (parts takes time to arrive, about 2 weeks)

Total cost of the main Acc kit around 1250€, but complete kit with wires pins buttons bumper cover comes around 1600€

If you want remote coding or general remote retrofit support we also can guide you through (I already have all aspects for retrofit memorized haha, ever since my own f36 Acc retrofit)

You need icm high. Check https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select for correct part no.

That part number is not used for the ACC Option SFD5A so it will not work

For my pre 7/2013 car, can anyone tell me if I spent way too much on a new control unit and swapped it onto my existing pump/valve block, would it work? I do see that the pump/valve block are different part #s between ACC and non-ACC but how might the mechanism vary between the two? Could it be as simple as the silly sticker being applied that says "BASIS" vs "ACC"?

The sticker is not Silly.

Basis is NOT for ACC cars. It’s literally telling you what it’s for.

Pre- 7/2013 are also different configurations as has been noted above.

Not trying to be a pest here, but it seems to me that, at the very least, the motor is likely the same between the two. I’ve seen units from older bmws (e90, e60) with the same black motor housing dismantled on YouTube. I’m having a difficult time imagining how this would vary from basis to ACC if it looks the same across multiple models and model years.

Then there’s the valve block. This seems more likely to be different somehow, but the question is how exactly? How might the valve block’s job differ between a basis and ACC unit? Are the passageways machined differently? Are the springs and valves different sizes? Solenoids of some different variety?

Given the difficulty in finding these units, I’m just trying to think outside treating them as black boxes with #s printed on them. A part numbering scheme was utilized to label and identify all the pieces of this assembly. My idle speculation is that in the process of denoting an ACC vs Basis unit, a different sticker might result in a different assembly part # because it’s paired with a different control board, as opposed to different control board AND valve block/motor. If you or anyone else knows detail about the mechanical/electrical/hydraulic differences between these units, I’m very curious to find out.

It’s a different control board, the wheel sensors are different (and they supply different info to DSC) and the actual brake piping is different.

I believe this is the correct part. I think whoever is telling you this came off an F10 is mistaken.
