Hi Guys/Gals,
As a current Z4 owner, I'm just about to buy a used (ex-demo) 135 M , but really wanted one with cruise. I have a car in mind but unfortunately it doesn't have cruise. I've been advised by the dealer, that although this costs £180 as an option when you order the car, its going to cost over £1000 to fit it to an existing car. I was flabber-gasted when quoted this price. Anyone have any knowledge of how the Cruise works on the one series? I know for a fact that on the Z4 its simply a new stalk added to the stearing column (maybe a new lower stearing column cover) and a case of registering the new component with the eng managment system. On then Z4 the parts are in the couple of £100's ...... not a £1000 Any guidance appreciated. Thanks in advance, Stiv |

welcome to the forum.
It seems that the price is indeed for just a stalk and labour. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111919 I'm not sure if any electronic reconfigurations is needed. |

Well miracles do happen.......
Dealer kindly offered to "upgrade" the care Free of Charge if I go ahead with the sale. So either thery're prepared to sink £1000 worth of parts & labour into the already very attractive deal they're proposing..... or it doesn't really cost them £1000 to fit! MMMM....... I wonder |

I'm just about to collect my 2010 1 series. It didn't have cruise control fitted and the dealer quoted me £800.....I told him it was way too much. He called me back the next day, reduced the price of the car and threw in the cruise for free. He's still making a profit......
