I assume you were hoping to retrofit ACC (active cruise control).
The short answer is that you would as a minimum require new steering wheel switches and if you do not have EDC (electronic damper control) you would also require a SAS control unit (and cabling to fit it). It appears BMW have routed ACC to work through a different (and rare) control unit to other functions served by the KAFAS camera. One can only suspect it was in order to make sure it was not just a simple code change. PulsePulse64 is investigating whether there is a socket lurking somewhere in the wiring loom into which a SAS module could be plugged. We await his findings, he is to be commended for his efforts.
