How to know if your vehicle has ARS

My car just landed at baltimore today.I tried checking the options on BMWVIN decoder but couldn't spot the ARS option[which I ordered].Is there away to know if your vehicle comes with ARS once you receive it?

This should be listed as an option you paid for on the meroni label (window sticker) Otherwise you have to get under the car and look for the hardware.

Hooray! Im sure they got your order in correct, you can always call your guy at the dealer and verify. I would make sure you do that to calm your nerves.

He doesn't have his car yet, that's why he posted. He wanted to make sure it had all the options he ordered before it came (as would I). Best bet is to call bmw advisor and get the info from the horses mouth.

Thats the closest to adaptive drive that I see on the decoded list.No mention of adaptive drive.Heck,I have nothing to lose..if theres no ARS its going back.

I forget that BMW names them differently for the other models but yes you have ARS.

"S229A DYNAMIC DRIVE" my car has this and I know I have ARS.
