Might be cheaper to sell your current car and get one with the package already on it. |

I believe that you do have some of the sensors since you have frontal collision warning. Do you have two cameras in the rear mirror assembly?
While you may have some of the sensors, it will still probably be expensive. On the other hand, ACC is an absolute "must have" for me. |

LOL! Why don't you just ask him to buy all the parts for you and install it in your driveway?
Part of the fun of these type of projects is doing the research and some googling. I am sure a search on ebay on "BMW G30 Active Cruise Control" will return a lot of answers.

So it doesn’t require the ultrasonic sensors to work or were those already included on your car? As my previous read of the technical documents on the forum was that it used them as well. My car was outfitted with this from the factory and the ability for it to see the car in front of the car in front is pretty cool. But good to know if it is an “optional” part of the system from a retrofitting perspective. |

While you have fun I can compare my findings with his who has actually done it. I'm sure if you keep quite and just read, lots of threads gets shorter and people can easily find what they're looking for. |

BUT yeah, at the same time, why don't you try doing what you said, share these "findings" first and then asking for confirmation? I guess he did mind doing the work for you by not going onto ebay and cutting and pasting links for you. There are different ways to phrase things and ask for help, like, "hey, you wouldn't happen to have any documents you could share". I get that a lot and I am happy to share. In terms of being "quite", this is a thread, I can chime in however I like.
