I have the option on my 2015 S550. If the vehicle has Magic Body Control, There is a button on the center console, left hand side, center of the stack, that has a switch for suspension adjustment. in the center of this switch are the letters "ABC". Also, there are two cameras behind the rearview mirror, which scan the road ahead, during daylight only. You can see these in the front window. This is the Magic Body Control, It works only when the lower light is selected on the switch, while the upper light indicated sport setting, and ABC is turned off on this setting.
It's a fabulous option, and should be on every car, IMHO. I love it.
Had the ABC in my previous S550 (2010, without the scanning feature), and it was good, however, the shocks kept leaking and were expensive to repair or replace.
Hope that helps.

Right, the MBC is a rather rare option, I believe. I looked for over a year before I found one (a 2015, loaded, on the used market). Note that the "road reading" camera system only works in the Comfort setting, and NOT in the Sport setting. As I said earlier, this is an amazing system, and I understand that newer versions are even better.
