I have to use CC on long trips (I drive 800-900 miles at a lick on occasions) or I will simply outrun everything on the road -- well, there may be some limitations to that statement. I really like the flexibility in the new cruise for the E60.

I use it wherever possible, its a great system. My car in Drive tends to accelerate through the gears in a jerky fashion when clicking up on the lever so I always select manual 6th and it accelerates gently. I find the system very controllable and in heavy motorway traffic I can keep up with the flow just nice. It has that fun aspect with added danger element!

Only found the +/- 5MPH function recently. Very nice!

Scared myself a few times with using CC. Cruise along for a while, with right foot resting. Then need to brake. %^&? - where's the brake pedal gone. At least when you're not using CC you know exactly where your foot is, and therefore exactly where the brake pedal is. I make sure I leave my foot right next to the pedals now. And wish I had ACC.

here in the UK, the motorway network is soooo overcrowded it feels like one long big main street, and your speeds vary so much due to the traffic, I rarely can manage to use CC!!!
