Ha Ha! The easiest way would be to check your manual. However if you don't have one you could also do a brake test by stamping hard on your brakes (Obviously when nothings beind you) If the wheels simply lock up then your car doesnt have the privlage of ABS. If you feel a 'rumbly' sensation from your foot brake pedal and the wheels don't lock up under extreme braking then you most proberly have ABS fitted.
Here are a few safer options:- Take it to a garage and get it checked out althought it may cos you will definitely have an answer.
- Take it to a BMW dealership and ask one of the mechanics just in passing if your make does have ABS or even the Parts Section of The Dealership (Shouldn't Cost you a Penny)
- Get yourself to a Auto Parts Centre and ask them questions about the breaks of your car they will be able to tell you if it has ABS (Shouldn't Cost you a Penny)
- Do some research on the internet with regards to the make and model of your car. This will definitely not cost you anything other than your time to research it.
