Retrofit Adaptive Cruise Control

eDubz · 03-03-2019, 11:12 AM

13 35i MSport...anyone know if you can retrofit adaptive cruise control on this model?

I can live without lane assist and blind spot monitoring, but adaptive cruise would be a life saver on my long drives to FL. Thanks.

Just had this exact same thought yesterday and was doing some research before I posted about it myself. Piggybacking off some threads by the F30 guys, it seems like it'd need at minimum a new module, front radar sensor, and either a new steering wheel/dash piece or retrofitting those buttons to the existing blanks. They estimated about $1000-1500 in parts before coding, which is a little steep for me. I have a friend here who runs a well-stocked BMW salvage yard that I might be able to source some parts for and do it cheaper, but I'm hesitant to do it before knowing exactly what I need or what the coding would entail.

What is your VIN? You need to make sure you have the right packages for it to even work or you will be spending much more money for it to work. Also, you're probably looking at $500 to get it coded in because I am sure it is a pain to do.
