Retrofit Cruise Control - North London

Post by sharif » Sun May 09, 2021 2:05 pm

Hi all,

Is there anyone that is able to retrofit cruise control in the North London area? I have the stalk and wiring but the existing cowling will need to be modified.

I usually go to RBM in Hampshire but wanted to see if any forum members are able to offer the service locally at a cost.

Many thanks,

Sharif

Many members have done it themselves, it’s not a difficult job. It helps if you have a Dremel with a cutting blade, but other cutting tools will do. The cutout is marked on the inside of the cowl already.

There is also an additional missing wire that needs to be added on the Z4M

I thought you had to run an extra wire when you retrofitted mine Steve - with my old 3.0, it was a straight plug & play :thumbsup:

No just the standard loom, only difference is the terminal on the ECU end.
