So I’m currently in a G80 M3, but as the family requires a bit more space, I find myself drawn to the X5s. I’ve owned a couple in the past, I really like the design. Now in my 21’G80, which has the executive package, does not have ACC (some executive). I really pound the highways with this car, so the lack of ACC is my number one gripe. The car is otherwise absolutely amazing, this is my 3rd M3, and it is my favorite. Bought it barely used and I have put 30K miles on it.

So, I’m starting my search for X5s with ACC feature in mind, M sport package, decent colors, and I:m in. Turns out almost no one ordering them new shelled out the $4K for the option at the time, so its sadly probably not going to happen easily. I will need to be hunting for a while. For fun I just toggled BMW and Adaptive cruise as filters on Autotrader and there was like 14 total cars that had the option within 25 miles and I have 2 dealers… I’ve been told BMW cannot add this to a car as it requires new sensors, bumper and new software and CPU, which makes sense. More of a rant. I am not going to order a new one. Open to ideas here.
