    What is the option S212A abs discontinued

    Does this mean the car does not have ABS brakes?

    It means you have the smaller brake option on the car, 330X24mm iinstead of 348x30mm as is typical to base model F10's

    ABS has been standard on every BMW since 1986.

    Ok thanks. I assumed that it still has ABS since that would be a weird delete. I wonder why they have the option for smaller brakes. I think that is strange too.

    Is it a 528i? The small brakes are normal for those, its a base model. The larger 6cyl brakes would be optional.

    535i has the 348x30mm brakes standard, with the 348x36mm brakes as optional. The larger system is just what is standard on the 550i.

    99% of US 535i have the 348x30mm.
