DIY cruise problem

The stalk was £9.98, the cruise module £14.20. The connectors in total were the most expensive bit actually.
Just finished putting it all back together after cutting the cowl, so everything is finished.

BMW connectors and pins are really expensive. £1 a pin is excessive.

Luckily I gambled with aliexpress and they had the same quality and fit as BMW but a tenth of the price.

That's a great result, especially given what E85/86 stalks cost now!

My E87 and E90 both had a similar control stalk to the Z4 so if you could sort the wiring out they might also be a cheapish option?

I paid about £15 for the connectors from UK sites.
