Cruise Control not engaging

[Taff989]

Hi all,
I am new to this after recently purchasing an E89 35i. Lovely car to be fair but I have an issue you all might be able to help with.
When driving and want to use the cruise control, I use the stalk as directed and the symbol appears in the window that shows its on but when I try to set the speed nothing happens. I have read that a little light should ping around the speedo but nothing. Has anyone has any similar issues?

So the semi-circle with the speed appears, in between the speedo and rev counter, when you press the CC stalk away from you when you've got to the speed you want! That's the CC set. You may have Green and Red LED's around the outer edge of the speedo (Green = CC currently set and active, Red = CC set but not currently active), that means it's OEM, or if no LED's then it's been retrofitted.

So what's actually not happening? What are you getting when pressing the stalk? And then what are you doing to try to change it?

The first bit you mentioned is correct. The semi circle comes on the dash but when I push the stalk away, nothing happens. The semi circle symbol just disappears.
I will take a video in the morning.

Sounds like the stalk assembly may have gone faulty, but yes a video would help.
Note* CC system only works above 20mph
