My Ride: Gone: 2004 525i Jet Black, Built 03/04, Premium Package, Black Dakota Leather, Halogen to Euro Spec Bi-Xenons Retrofit, Dark Poplar Wood Trim, Steptronic Breyton Spirit Reps 20x9F 20x10R - Nitto NT555 245/35/20F-275/30/20R, M5 Front Bumper, H&R Sport Springs, Chrome Grills, 20% Tint, Euro Reflectors, Debadged, Aux Input, CIP v19.x
A little bit off topic, but who here has the record for the greatest distance driven while under cruise control. I realized that I drove home this morning and did not break cruise control from San Ysidro to Santa Ana (100 miles or so). CC performed wonderfully

Well, I might be close because I just drove from CA to TX and there is the infamous stretch from El Paso to San Antonio. Talk about CC driving

I had cruise control on for a full tank of gas all the way through Montana, about 540 miles.
PS. I would not recommend this drive to anyone. 70 mph for 8 hours on straight roads. It gets kinda old to say the least.
