Anybody have intelligent cruise control on their E60? Or would you consider ordering that as one of your options? Thanks in advance.

If you have both comfort seat and active cruise control fitted. You better keep yourself awake when you are travelling on the bored dark motorway.

I have active cruise, and I like it a lot.

It does have some quirks, but you learn to deal with them.

Seemed too expensive for the simple task of locking onto an idiot in front of me. If you are not the lead dog, the view is always the same. Pass em!

Well.... here in the USA it's not always so simple.

Traffic gets bad, and people don't always follow the "slower traffic keep right" courtesy.

Active cruise really makes my long trips more relaxing.

Thanks guys! But I am still torn. Don't know if I should get it or not. I could just get the ///M kit bumper and rear apron in place for it???

Can M Aero trim pieces be ordered in parts. For example can I just order the side pieces that fit under the door and have it assembled at the port?

Anyone know?

Even if you can, won't it look a bit odd?
