New M5 has ARS?

I don't see any mentions of Active Roll Stabilization in any new BMW's anymore.

Does they go away or they are standard now so do not get mentioned?

Why would a non-convertible car have active rollbars?

My mistake.

ARS : Active Roll Stabilization.

Stabilizer Roll bars that change electronically. Starting with Bangle 7, they were in 7's and 5's. I am wondering why they didn't make to M5's

Maybe M5's Electronic Damping Control helps to minimize roll already?

the EDC make the car lay in the curve. I would say it surely helps preventing roll.
The car can be thrown in every turn at any speed, it has a low gravity point and is excellent. You rather have a strong understeering if you dont his the gas pedal or start some oversteering if you know when and how strong to push it (Disabled DSC of course)

I don't think that prior M5s ever had ARS.

In terms of other models, it's still available in the 7er and the 5er (as part of the dynamic handling package).

Electronic Damping control does most of the work do there is absolutely no need for ARS.

Plus the X5. It works well. But I've read EDC allows more feel, important in an ///M.

My moms old E66 had it. It was amazing how little body roll there was in that big ass car.
