Hi,
i have a 535d with the active cruise control with stop & go.
Only, i think there is a sensor missing on the right side of my car!
Or isn't this possible in combination with the sports package?
My car:
2 sensors:
Could one of you provide me pictures of the ACC in combination with the mtech?
Or am i thinking wrong?

Try to go out and take a picture of the front (close up). I think I can see a sensor on your picture on the right-hand side of the bumper, behind the protection..

Are you sure you have ACC? The long-range sensor is missing -- do you happen to have a manual transmission? If so, then you can't get ACC, only "normal" cruise...

I have a 535d and comes with auto transmission only, so that can't be it...
otherwise i'm kinda sure i have the ACC.
I have the hendle on the steering wheel with the adapter for distance change.
And i already tried the ACC before and when a car is in front of me, i get a yellow car on the computer
But when coming (real) close to that car, our car gives a sound and a red car starts to blink
The car also brakes really heavy (from 140 to 90 km/h)
There also still is a notification that the sensor doesn't work properly
Yet, thanks for your help and the pictures

Hmm,, it really sounds like a issue you should have fixed!
The sensor might be there, but some idiot mounted the wrong plastic piece. This could decribe the heavy braking issue, and the error message you mention..

You are definitely missing something, I have same car and options, check my photos, the front one is not great but you can see there are sensors/camera either side.

From the additional details you provided, you probably do have ACC and yes, as many are speculating, you may be missing the long-range radar that needs to be mounted below the bumper.
I assume you're not the original owner of the car -- if so, then you might want to look behind the plastic panel where the ACC sensor should go (look at my pictures I posted in your other thread http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry589116 ) and see if there is an electrical connector or some wiring back there that looks like it's not connected to the sensor.
My guess is that either the original sensor was damaged and the previous owner decided to not pay for the new part but instead snapped in the plastic panel designed for non-ACC cars...

Still can't believe this
