How do I tell if my car has DHP (besides the window sticker)?
How can I tell if my car has DHP besides looking at the window sticker? Car drives great but I have never driven another 550 without DHP for comparison. Is there any physical way to see the components on the car? Thx

Once you ran VIN decoder look for these.
2VA ADAPTIVE DRIVE 223 DYNAMIC DAMPER CONTROL 229 DYNAMIC DRIVE Can never really remember which 2 of these 3 make DHP, I'm tempted to say first two, but am not sure, sorry. |

My '12 535 didn't have it, but did have a little "under the floor" storage compartment in the trunk.
My '12 550 has it, and lifting the floor of the trunk shows lots of electronic bits but no little storage compartment. I assume the two differences are related. |

Another clue would be being able to select between comfort, normal, and sport suspension modes with the button near the gear selector. Your screen should show changes in suspension and you will also feel the difference when you switch modes.

Nevermind, I was thinking you meant Active Steering. Too many silly letter abbreviations on these machines!
