Starting to look for a ~2014-17 M4 coupe.
Found 1 in NY and the sales person (not a BMW dealer) mentioned it does NOT have Driver Assistance Plus (I would like the Blind Spot detection as I am so used to it in other cars) but she said that the hardware is there but absent the software.

This sounds odd as the Driver Assistance Plus package includes lane centering, etc. and I think has side and top cameras. Could this be true that BMW would install all the hardware but leave out the software unless you paid the ~$1,900 for the option?

If so, I suspect the dealer could install the software... but at what cost...?ha.

I did call the local BMW dealer but the service person didn't know and would check.

Thx
