Cruise Control Stalk from China?

I don't know what the fuss is all about, I've got one on mine and never use it. However now I know the are an expensive item that is difficult to come by I'm glad I have it. :evil: :thumbsup: Might make the car easier to sell when the time arrives. :thumbsup:

The way zed prices are plummeting you'd be better removing it and selling it separately. :thumbsup:

Going blind! Found this one from BMW for £149 https://bmw.click/product/switch-speed-control-z4-61316940989/
Did you order this? Listing isn’t clear it’s the actual stick unless you know the part number (which I don’t).

Yes it is the correct part number, confirm with realoem, shipping after 13th September which shows the item is on back order

Don’t be hoodwinked into thinking this website is anything to do with BMW, it’s not. It’s a third party reseller at best.
 
If anyone is looking for a cruise control stalk but isn't in a rush then I am making up some DIY stalks but time isn't on my side at the moment.

It's not completely oem as it doesn't have the button on the end for resume. Resume is now 'up' replacing one of the 'off' commands. Down to off, push to set+ and pull to - is still the same.

Will post up a how to when I can so you can make it yourself for £25 ‐ £35 but you'll need a soldering iron. Otherwise I'm thinking about £70 if you want me to make it.

Its "available to order" from BMW which usually means that they are no longer being made so it'll never come back into stock. I'd put money on those sites offering a future shipping date won't be able to honour it.

Would love to see this process written up Usel! Am I correct in thinking that this is a steering adjustment switch? (8373901)

It's the only part I can find that looks remotely oem
