Adding Driver Assistance Professional after purchase
I purchased my ‘24 X6MC off of the showroom floor so I didn’t get to spec it myself. While Driver’s assistance package is standard, I didn’t realize at the time that adaptive cruise control was not included in that package.
Has anyone heard of being able to purchase Drivers Assistance Professional programmed after purchase ( seems like it would be just a software update). Thanks! |

It’s more than just software coding. There’s a front radar sensor, different grill, steering wheel, wiring harnesses and much more.

That BMW doesn't equip every vehicle with adaptive cruise control is absurd.

Now I drive what I consider an exceptional amount and realized it was a necessity for me and traded in the car for an x5M with the package. I must say that it’s really helpful to me given how much I drive regularly. If you don’t drive much or encounter much traffic then I don’t think it’s worth the hassle and in which case you won’t even realize it’s missing when hitting the gas or taking tight turns in that beast!

X6M steering wheel has differently labeled buttons compared to the M550 steering wheel with Drivers’s assistance Professional.

I’d check with the dealership to see if hardware for the package exists on your car as it looks like there’s some sensor being protected by the box in your grill. It could be that bmw only mass produced the grills containing a space for the sensor and placed boxes regardless. I agree that steering wheel indicates that the feature isn’t on your car. Also bmw needs to make this standard across all their cars

Agreed, but seems all of the German cars are this way. The Mercedes doesn't even have rear sun shades unless you pay for them. Hyundais are better equipped standard.

Did you ask bmw genius? I have the same steering wheel buttons but I have the Driving Assitance Executive Pkg. buttons are different because some settings are now within the i8 system.
