Adaptive cruise control

One of the key reasons for getting this car and I love it.

Works so well I use it loads on my daily commute. Over 3 seconds stoppped it will need a prompt to get going again but I discovered today it doesn't just have to be a nudge to the accelerator - tapping the left scroll wheel on the steering wheel does the job too.

Follows at a good distance and for the most part spots a slowing car well in time to slow down.

The auto recognition of speed is generally ok but I've seen it make mistakes a few times now - either bad data in the DB or some misrecognition of signs on back of lorries etc.

It's really great. Much better than the x5 of a few years ago.

I have it in my 335 currently and it works really nicely. Can't live without it now.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with your G30 .It's very nice to hear from a longstanding forum member to hear good feedbacks on these cars as well.
Happy Driving

Dynamic is the standard cruise control.

ACC is what comes with DA+ (II).
