Going to need cruise this season so want to get it fitted (from what I've read my 2006 wont have the plug in loom option so will need a bit more fitting) - preferably by someone/somewhere they've done it before.
I'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne - anyone have any suggestions? Cheers.

Not as easy as a non ///M at all Paul.
I've yet to try as I think I have all the information, but you'll need to find an indi who knows how to do it.

Thought that might be the case - wonder if anyone knows an indi somewhere in travelling distance?

not too far for you...
Prestige German Cars
http://www.prestige-german-cars.co.uk/
Noting my local dealer wanted to void the warranty claim on an o2 sensor a couple of months after fitting of cruise at prestige and then charged me the thick end of £80 to rectify and make good the wiring in the DME where "someone" had spliced "something" in to the loom leaving bare soldered wires!!
Otherwise fine!

Looks promising chris - but that fitment
I've read the 'how to' posts on the forum and seen basically what's needed - would hope for better than bare soldered wires . . . hmm.

wonder if redish motorsport would do this for you?? when the wiring starts to get messed with it needs to be done to a very high standard.

If you find someone good, let me know. I'm also planning to get cruise fitted to my Z4C.
I have heard recommendations for DWMotorworks, but have no experience of them

Did you find someone near Newcastle?
I'm looking for a good indy and these guys are almost within walking distance!
Would be handy to know of any experience with them...
Cheers!

Yes, really not hard to do yourself, no harder than any other E85/6

I fitted it myself using the instructions available in this forum
If doing it again I would buy one of srhutch's looms.
