What is Active Roll Stabilization/Dynamic Drive?
Active Roll Stabilization is an "active" suspension control system design to reduce body roll in cornering, resulting in improved handling. Whenever entering a corner, "lateral acceleration" is generated. Sensors read the level of body roll and communicate with the ECU or central "brain" which then processes this signal and coordinates various systems to respond. As a result, ARS actively generates resistance to body roll by twisting the front and rear anti-roll bars appropriate to the situation.

I am about to place an order for either a 550i or a 530xi. I am going to use it for a daily driver and as such would prefer to not get the low profile tires or the stiffer suppension (I have a Z06 for my sports driving) but would like the active roll stabiliation. My dealer told me this is not possible. Does anyone know if I there is some way to get the more comfortable ride with the active roll stabilization? Thanks.

All you have to do is ditch the run-flats and get some PS2s

I am about to buy a 2005 E60 and i have a big question for my amateur head. If the dealer who will sell me the car doesn`t know if the car has Dynamic Drive because he`s selling over 1000 cars, HOW CAN I KNOW IF THE CAR I AM ABOUT TO BUY HAS DYNAMIC DRIVE???
Thanks a lot and i thin i`m not off topic
