And on your subject of ACC on the roundabouts, I've had the regular CC catch me out a few times - it doesn't give up control when you change gear so you can accelerate out of a 30 limit and keep changing up etc, then the car decides to brake back down to 30
Thanks edz

Yes I've experienced that a few times myself with standard cc. I will say the BMW brake function does seem to have some logic that for example the Mercedes one doesn't. The merc brake function was annoying.....say you overtake a another car and want the speed to bleed of slowly, no the merc applied brakes and forced the speed down. 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?
