Hello,

Going back in time were we able to purchase the adaptive cruise control feature from the factory? If not, do you all think a retrofit from an e90 would work? this feature would be amazing for long distance traffic. All of the new cars have it now, like the Honda accords.

Thanks.

I think the retrofit can be done the same as the people have done on the e90. Our cars (E82/8) and e9X cars are very much similar.

I've been wondering if the E90 retrofit would work.

You might run into issues because the systems were only coded for E90s, so they come to expect an E90-tuned DSC unit. The car being physically smaller than the system thinks may pose an issue. Don't quote me on this though, purely speculation.

I would also love to add adaptive cruise control but more to my e84 than e82.

I thought about taking the ACC from my 330i and putting it on the 135i. Fun project for sure...but I would hate to rip up the E90 like that.

I don't think it would be an issue. You may have to fool some modules into thinking they're an E90 but that isn't rocket surgery.
