The button is used if you turn it off, press the button in and speed will go back to the last setting. To actually engage / turn on the cruise control, you just push the stalk forwards, I.e. towards thee front of the car. Pushing it forwards again will increase speed and pulling it back will slow down. To turn it off, touch the brake, or push the stalk up or down. I never use the button on the left. Unfortunately no lights or gauges appear.

That's it. The cruise control is now working. Thank you so much!!

No problem, glad you got it sorted.

Glad I've found this thread, after a trip up the motorway today I missed not having cruise like I did on my 330ci
Think i'll now get a cruise stork and retrofit it asap

Oh and happy with the MPG too, car showing 38mpg after a 70mile trip on the M1 so got to be happy with that.

Ordered parts from BMW on friday came to 116.51GBP incl. VAT for switch and loom, fitted today and works. Used the thread more than the BMW instructions!

Hey guys

just a general thank you to all the contributors to this thread. Using the information in this thread I successfully fitted cruise control to my 03 2.5 Z4 and as was said it took me only 20 minutes to fit ! Jackpot! Indeed the most difficult, if it can really be described as difficult, part was drilling and cutting out the steering column cowling to accept the new switch.

Brilliant
Cheers
Stu
Meant to say I paid £79.38 for the stalk from BMW Soper in Lincoln part no.B61.31.6.940.989 arrived within 1 day of placing order.

I too have ordered a stalk for me to pop on my 3.0
I had a price from Sopers of 79.38 also but managed to get it from my local dealer for the same price, just because I can pick it up from them when I'm passing.
Mind you they told me on the phone it was £78 but when I called in to order it they said £89, I then gave them that look which said are you taking the p*ss and asked is that the best you can do ?? managed to get a 10% discount then so wasn't too bad realy.
Hope to be fitting mine on Saturday, Can't wait, I love tinkering

Well that didn't take long. Picked my stalk up today and fitted it in only 15 to 20 mins, how easy a job is that.
Took it for a spin down the road and all working fine
Top job

I did it like two weeks ago on mine. Plug and Play they would say. And it works
But I really don't understand Germans with this silly cruise control. I prefer buttons not ... extensions

I have an 07 plate coupe, this going to be plug and play?

Just looking into this at the moment before a trip to Wales end of April.

I've got an 07 plate and think fitting this myself is a bit beyond my capabilities.

I'm based in Surrey.. Does anyone that has fitted this to their own Z and isn't too far away fancy fitting for me? Cash your way ofcourse. Drop me a pm if you do!

Just spoken to a mate who has a 53 zed, install was plug and play. He thinks the later zeds have to have the cruise coded in?

Previous posts suggest that it doesn't need to be coded as long as it's wired correctly.. I'm happy to be corrected though!

I think your right, your year car will not have the cruise loom fitted and will need purchasing with the stalk and then I believe it needs splicing into your columns loom.

No coding required, just loom on later cars.
