ok great stuff.  just an extra feature id like to add to my omega beast.  motorway lazyness.

Once the stalk fitted mate you will need to plug it in to a Tech 2 to activate it

Wait, hang on :o. If you has a 3.0 and not a 3.2 (no drive by wire) wouldn't you need the actuator? :-?

Ian is confusing your car with a drive by wire 2.6/3.2. You need the actuator under the bonnet, cable and  ...... ????
The lads breaking cars will put you straight!  :y

right, you need a stalk, actuator unit from a v6 (to get the right length cable) and possibly a clutch switch.

No need to go to vauxhall, just plug them in and off you go.  The clutch switch at the top of the clutch pedal (pig to get to) there is usually a multiplug there.  stalk, easy - again find the extra multiplug

the actuator goes below the header tank in the engine bay (you may also have an aux water pump there but you can adapt it onto the auctator housing.  multiplup is on the top of the driver side top strut mount.  connect the bowden cable and off you go

there is a how to on here somewhere

Fitting CC to my 2.5td was literally a case of fitting the CC stalk and that was it, job done. Apparently most, if not all 2.5td's, are already enabled.
Not used to things being that simple when I attempt anything  :o  ;D

All 2.5TDs are enabled.  Actually, the ECU throws a fault code if the cruise stalk isn't fitted, because BMW are gay like that ;D

2.0/2.5/3.0 petrols need the actuator/cable/stalk/brake switch/clutch switch (if manual), nothing to enable

2.2/2.6/3.2 (petrol and diesel) need the stalk and possibly clutch switch, plus a chat with Tech2
