Driver Assistance Plus with ACC or Surround View with ACC

[golovan]

I am thinking what to get between these two combinations:
Driver Assistance Plus with ACC
Surround View with ACC

What else is in the first combination besides Active Blind Spot Detection what the second combination doesn't have?

What would you choose between these two and why?

There's a thread below that pertains to the ACC. Check with your local dealership either way, I think BMW has restraints on certain options which might be something you want...

I have both DA plus and surround view, like them both good for safety.

Thank you guys for your replies! I know what ACC is, I had it on my previous car. My question was rather about getting DA Plus or just Surround View as it is available as separate option.
I am not sure if I want to pay $1900 for Surround View, Active Blind Spot Detection and Speed Limit Info or just $750 for Surround View. Unless there is something else in DA Plus I would just go for Surround View.

DA+ includes the Active Driving Assistant with lane departure warning and some other safety aids. Some owners have said it is too aggressive, others find it just fine.

If you can live without ADA and blind spot warning, drop the package and just add surround view separately.

That's what I most likely get.

Definately surround view. Driving Assistant is now standard equipment from4/2014, so you only use traffic jam assistant, which I think is unnecessary. You get all other aids free, which renders PLUS useless, off course if you are getting ACC anyway.

In Europe blind spot detection is not included in the PLUS package.

Well there is a small detail. US configurator gives you ACC for $1200 if it is part of DA Plus and for $1900 if you choose it as an option. If we come back to my original post:
Driver Assistance Plus ($1900) with ACC ($1200) - $3100
Surround View ($750) with ACC ($1900) - $2650
$550 difference between these two.
But if we compare Driver Assistance Plus and Surround View without ACC then it is $1150 difference.

My current state is no for DA Plus and ACC, yes for Surround View and saved money to spend on Harman Kardon ($825) and Rear Window shades ($250)

Is this applicable of US builds? Driving assistant is standard after 4/14? Does that mean the package containing this will go down in price? Any other changes coming after 4/14?
