Is there no way to specify this without adding a very expensive Technology Plus Pack?

It’s heading to 7000 Euros here for that pack. I found radar controlled cruise to be really useful on a VW I had previously.

I believe Bmw ( and others) are doing this as it reduces the number of combinations of car that have to be tested for regulations like emissions and fuel consumption.
The downside for us is less choice and having to buy features we wouldn't have otherwise specified

Yeah, I heard it’s down to WLTP testing too. Makes some options super expensive though.
