[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 402570, member: 3592"] Sorry pussy, I didn't mean to sound condescending! I'm just a very exact person when it comes to facts. :o Guys, there are 3 things being described here -- Controlling speed with the stalk: Most cars with cruise control can do this; increasing or reducing speed with the stalk. It works on the throttle which opens or shuts depending on whether more speed or less speed is needed. [B]Engine braking [/B]slows down the car in this case. Braking function: Our 325s and above come with this. The system applies the brakes when engine braking is not enough to hold a selected speed on a downhill gradient. Cruise control on the 4-cyl E90s don't have this, and neither do most cars with cruise control. [B]The brakes [/B]slow down the car in this case. This is what Achtung saw in the 325i brochure. Active Cruise Control: We don't have this option in our E90s here. This is an automatic distance control system where you can select 4 distances from the car in front and the cruise control will maintain that distance. It needs a [B]radar sensor[/B] to be fitted in the front air dam. This is what Achtung saw in the website. Look in the handbook, it's all there. [/QUOTE]
