    I have just finished fitting cruise control to my Z4 thanks to this video! I found the instructions quite insufficient and I’m glad that you took the time to make a tutorial. If there’s anyone watching this video and is still apprehensive, do it!

    Thank you soo much for making this video. Installed CC on my E86 today using this video which made the process a whole lot easier.

    That is an excellent video you two! I've read the instruction on how to do this but was still a bit apprehensive of doing it myself. Not anymore, thank you!

    Exactly what I needed boys. My earlier Z4 was plug and play and couldn't believe it wasn't the same case with my 2008 2.5si. Thank you.

      @@CarsofSwedenlive Can I ask where the instructions and wiring kit come from? As I've said, I've bought a stalk from e-bay expecting it to be plug-and-play. It obviously didn't come with any instructions, or wiring. Thank you.

      I got the instructions from BMW when I bought the stalk. I have seen it on a few BMW z4 forums as well.

    Great video and would be confident about tackling this now. Don't know about your idea of factory finish though with the massive gaps in the cowling. I think a little extra trim under the switch is required

      Thanks for the message and good luck with the installation. Just to be clear though if you have a earlier z4 pre 2006 you won't need to run that blue cable, it's just the lever and your good to go.

    Thanks for this fine tutorial! I looked up the instruction manual too and I wonder if the CC fits in any e85 (I have a 2.5i n52). Do you know if it fits mine?
    Is there any kind of coding desired after it is built in? Like to hear from you:)

    • @CarsofSwedenlive
      @CarsofSwedenlive  3 года назад

      Almost all the z4 e85 models have most of the cabling already in place. If your car is pre 2006 it will be a simple case of the plug and play (the plug which goes directly to the stalk) without the need for the loom as seen in this video. If your car is after 2006 then you need to follow the steps in this video and no programming is necessary.

      Thank you. I ‘ll follow your enlightning video! One last question: did you have to connect the car with a computer in order to set codes right?

      @CarsofSwedenlive  2 года назад

      I am almost positive this works for most z4 but i have seen that different engine sizes have the box (in the engine bay) in a different area. so you will have to investgate that first. But i believe that most cars before 2006 you only need to buy the stalk and no wiring is necessary.

    ALWAYS disconnect the negative first and reconnect negative last for that reason.
