If the car was not equipped with ESP can you add it later?
I am kinda' sad that my car does not have ESP installed amd I was wondering how complicated/expensive it is to add that feature.
Is it a matter of adding the ESP module + adding that button on the dash OR I need to replace the ABS pump and all that good stuff... has anyone done it?

Actually I am pretty sure that the car is pre-wired for that...I dunno about the ABS pump though
I could be totally wrong but I think it may be like the heated seats - if the car did not come with the you still have the connectors and all the wiring underneath the seats...

Quite a bit more complicated than that
You need:
- Wheel speed sensors
- Steering angle sensor
- Hydraulic Modulator unit
- Yaw rate and lateral sensor
- Almost certainly a new ECU
- Plumbing to attach all of that
Then:
- ESP button...<ul><li><a href="http://www.bosch-esperience.co.uk/uk/language1/technik.html">http://www.bosch-esperience.co.uk/uk/language1/technik.html</a</li></ul>
