was wondering if there is a way to change the cruise control from miles to km, since ireland changed to km a while ago and it would be nice to jump 5 km instead of 5 miles with the cruise control paddle.
but under the idrive settings changing the miles to km only affects the display of the mileage.

If I QUICKLY push and release the cruise control (after the initial setting) then my cruise control speed jumps in one KM increments. If I hold it a little longer it jumps (as you said) in 10km increments. However, I am not aware of any way to change its function. In my case, it wouldn't matter since the tap I refer to would be small in either km or mi.
Maybe it just that way in my car.

I have a U.S. spec LCI and when I change the iDrive settings from miles to km, everyting changes - odometer, trip meter, HUD, NAV info and cruise control adjustments.
+1 on the comment about tapping vs. holding the cruise control lever.
