My Ride: 520d LCI, old engine, manual, black dakota, platingrau II, standard (242?) rims.
Thumbs up

I test-drove a 520d earlier this week and I totally loved how, when engaging the cruise control, a second dial appears on the outside of the speedometer, indicating the cruise control speed.

I do not know whether I drove a car with active cruise control or not. Now I was wondering: Is that second, outside dial part of the active cruise control package or is it part of the regular cruise control?

Thanks for the quick reply! I feared I had to take the active cruise control for that (which I do not plan - I want to decide myself when to stop and when to go).
