It depends if your car is DBW .... drive by wire  :y

Its really easy to do if your car is auto and drive by wire ( ive just had it done to mine a month ago )... i think its a bit more complex if its a manual but still doable  :y

ITS A DIESEL!!!!

It has cruise enabled - there will be a fault code stored saying no stalk found!

Add a stalk and all will be well  :y

Stalk will need to be from another diesel...or maybe even a manual, think they are 2 wire too??

The BMW 2.5TD is pre-enabled (actually, it can't be disabled).  Just add the 2 wire cruise stalk (which is unique to the TD), and it will work.

Don't use a second hand stalk, buy new from a dealer (Approx £30 + VAT), as second hand ones don't last.

Oh how I wish that were true!!!
My local 'Stealer' wanted £45 + VAT for the damn thing!!!!!
Next nearest local 'stealer' wanted the same!!!!

local scrappy, £6 + vat. Been OK for a couple of months now. 'Stealers' are  the scum of the earth.....pariahs, all of 'em.

Would someone confirm this should work on my '95 wiesel tractor as well?
Seems a little bit to simple, tho it'd sure be handy when I'm off to France and Spain next week, and also for towing the pikey palace!  8-)

Yup, it works on all BMW 2.5TD engines fitted to Omegas.

The only thing is it must be the 2 wire stalk, unique to the 2.5TD - all other Omegas used the 4 wire stalk, inc the 2.0DTi amd 2.2DTi
