Does W211 have Active Roll Stabilization as the new BMW 5 series does?

Hello:

Does W211 have Active Roll Stabilization as the new BMW 5 series has? I think it's really nice. I never drive my car that hard so I don't know if W211 has this features.


Active Roll Stabilization:
An “active” suspension control system designed to reduce body-roll, or lean, while cornering. This improves the vehicle’s suspension geometry (the degree of wheel angle relative to vertical).

Do you have Airmatic DC on your E class (std on the 500, optional on the 320)? If so I'd say the system is superior overall to the BMW ARS.

W211
ARS is similar to Merc's ABC, which the W211 doesn't have.
