Iain, as I said to Sean, go for it, you won’t be disappointed when you revisit
My X6 has active cruise and its the way cruise control should have been from the start. I always thought cruise control was annoying as you were always braking for slower cars or hitting traffic and then having to reset it.Argyll Andy said:Ole gits rule said:

I have to say, not doing it in the Z4 would be a mistake IMHO, it just adds greatly to the trip
I will give a rundown on the general findings and the tech when I get time but as I’ve mentioned the active cruise is the hands down winner so far

I totally agree about the zed - will definitely be doing it in the car, no point in having it if we don't do road trip in it.
Active cruise is great but also a nightmare when cars in front slow down for no reason and you don't realise - overall I like it though

Good luck and health to drive your new car. It is stunning.
This is where active cruise works, if there are slower cars the car will slow down for you and keep a specified distance from the car in front.Ole gits rule said:Argyll Andy said:Ole gits rule said:

If the car in front speeds up the active cruise will take your car back to the set position without you having to touch a thing.
It will also resume the set speed if you change lanes.
Not sure on the Zs active cruise but my X6 will bring the car to a stop if there is traffic and if it moves again within 10 seconds or so it will move automatically all the way back up to the set speed.

Fully understand active cruise functions, I use some single lane roads that are 50 / 60mph and all of a sudden the car in front slow down to 10mph to turn left and the DS seems to slam it brakes on - its almost like it is doing an emergency stop.
Generally on a motorway when it goes from 60 down to 50 then speeds up, its a great bit of tech, overall I do like it and would always spec it if available

Had active cruise on my Volvo XC60 along with auto emergency stop and lane departure warning etc
On a sunny day a white van coming the opposite way would throw the systems into a hissy fit..
I see a number of companies have now abandoned their driverless vehicle initatives..

Thanks,
Yeah,the M3s and M4's are coming with Super Sports too,SARS/Andy.
One of my mates recently bought a fully loaded M4 Competition,and I was surprised to see Super Sports on it,given they were replaced a wee while ago by Michelin.
Good tyres,but as said, replaced by newer pilot 4S tyres.
Strange one.
That’s interesting, there’s a Tyre Review video on the OEM tyre on the M4 and that uses Pilot Sport 4S

Thanks [ref]Nanu[/ref], I’ve had many soft tops over the years so it doesn’t bother me. Most of the time it’ll be driven the roof will be down and the extra boot space definitely compensates
Strange, my mates was Definitely Pilot Super Sports....as said, surprised, as expto see Pilot 4s'.sars said:craig3.2 said:sars said:Thanks,

His was bought a few months ago and is currently 10 months old roughly, so may have changed on the most recent model?

Our DS cab drive itself but you have to keep pressure on the wheel - very strange feeling as I would be turning earlier than the car does
yep, appreciate that as my best mate has a 360 Ferrari and he never drives it with the top up. Even he doesn't like the look of it with a cloth roof closed.Argyll Andy said:Nanu said:Great photos. Great colour. Would love it myself if only it had a hard top.

Great with the top down though :evil:
