I don't see many cars with this feature. Mine does and I love it, I am wondering what your experiences are when enabled and driving long distances, any mishaps?

IMHO, not many cars have it due to high initial cost. It is literally the only option my car does not have. Even trying to buy used components is cost prohibitive due to rarity of used parts. Take care of that sensor in front bumper or you will be shelling out big dollars to fix

Thanks for the heads up and I agree it could get costly. It is cool however when the car speeds up and slows down according to traffic on the HWYs

I would love to try the adaptive cruise that allows the full start/stop. Would be great to have in a traffic jam if it works smoothly.

ACC works really well in traffic. I use it almost every day. My only complaint (and I've had it since my 2008 E60) is that I'd like to be able to turn off the "active" part for highway use and let it work like a "normal" cruise control...
