The BMW almost understands that is what you want to do so bleeds it off, but once at it's set speed uses brakes to limit a runaway situation, like going down steep hills.

Hows the car going?
Yeah, I'll agree it is great once you've got the hang of it

Car is going really well, I'm really pleased with the power/economy/size blend, it's plenty quick enough for me and got 47mpg on the first tank full (with no long runs, work is 20 miles each way) so am very pleased!

I also like the little touches in the car, like the way the interior is "dimly" lit when you unlock but then brightens up on the seat corresponding to the door you've just opened (only) - and lots of other little touches like this, so yes loving it
