I recall that in my Dads Mazda, it was advised not to switch the cruise on at less than 50 mph or something like that. Whats the lowest limit in the e60?

Actually never tryed it at such low sepeed, but since we have 30 km/h
speed limit in some part of the city I have to try it, but at 40 km/h

I just love the +/- 10 km/h feature.

Don't set it too low though, or else you'll lose favor with the BMW Gods...

Nice video!

Where can such nice roads be found.

Last Thursday for the first time this year I drove
on a Freeway with the cruise set on 90 mph for some 50 km's.

Almost fell asleep

The car is simply too quiet and comfortable
