    The Correct Equipment Codes- Active Cruise

    I've been looking for a 2016 F10 535(xi). I think I may have been mistakenly overlooking the equipment code for Active Cruise. I'm thinking that it may be included in a package and instead I've missed the tree because I didn't see the forest...or is Active Cruise really this difficult to find? I was able to find cars with everything else I want, except this option.

    I've been searching about 2 months.

    I had a broker that found my e60 in 2 days, but sadly I've lost his contact information. Can anyone help me find my next car? What should I be looking for when looking up the VIN?

    Thanks.

    You need to break down the vin and find out the option code for it, it it's going to have active cruise control it would have to have the glass eye thing on the front of the car, as the techs say more stuff to go wrong

    Thanks for mentioning the sensor. I saw it in the Owner’s Manual in the copy I was reviewing. How visible is it from pictures?

    Is the sensor body colored or mounted ina stealthy manner?

    In the lower front bumper, there's a 4- or 5-inch circular plastic piece with flat top and bottom edges.

    Looking online I see several depictions of this sensor. I'm evaluating a possible car now but not sure what I'm looking for in the dealer pics.

    The circular thing in the lower bumper is the radar. The crescent shaped opening in the blackout at the top of the windshield is the camera.

    Thanks. I don’t see that on the car I’m looking at. Do the 5 & 7 share those components?

    I have a 2016 535 Xdrive with the active cruise. I have 5AT which is the Driving Assistant Plus options. It has the radar sensor near the bumper.
