What package/option is Active Roll Stab. (ARS) ?

I noticed you can just get Dynamic Damper Control for $2000 as opposed to the whole Dynamic Package for $3900...but where is Active Roll Stabilization in all of this complicated 'dynamic' stuff? I don't see it mentioned anywhere.

Dynamic Handling Package consists of:
Adaptive Drive = Dynamic Drive (which incl ARS) + Dynamic Damper

Dynamic Drive - steering, transmission shifting point and throttle response
Dynamic Damper - adjust the shocks and firms up the suspension with the different settings (as below)

Main function of the combined:
To vary the suspension, steering, transmission, and throttle programming between “Comfort,” “Normal,” “ Sport,” and “Sport+,” the last of which disables the stability control.

I have it, it feels real good.
You can actually feel the difference and the off setting when turning, go test drive one!

For 2012 there is no adaptive drive option (ARS) for the 535xi. You can get adaptive dampers as a standalone option though for $2,000
