Hey Daniel,

You won't see cruise control on the list for your car, because it wasn't selected when it was built from new. This is a list of options that your car was built with. It will not show all the options possible for your car.

The reason why its important to know the current options on your car as it will determine the corresponding Slip ring / Steering switch cluster you will need to select.

For example, there are 8 configurations of switch clusters:
1. Switch with (249) = present, (521) = present, (544) = present
2. Switch with (249) = present, (521) = present, (544) = absent
3. Switch with (249) = present, (521) = absent , (544) = present
4. Switch with (249) = present, (521) = absent , (544) = absent
5. Switch with (249) = absent , (521) = present, (544) = present
6. Switch with (249) = absent , (521) = present, (544) = absent
7. Switch with (249) = absent , (521) = absent , (544) = present
8. Switch with (249) = absent , (521) = absent , (544) = absent

key:
Multi-function Steering : (249)
Rain-sensing wipers : (521)
Cruise control (with braking) : (544)

by looking at your options list it looks like:
* Your current configuration is #4
* The configuration you need is #3

Based on the information I have I believe the part number you are looking for is:
* Current part number : 9123050 (61319123050)
* Old part number : 9110895

Please physically check all of the above features before proceeding, because sometimes BMW vin databases can have incorrect entries.

Now, I forgot to mention this in my earlier post but if you are planning to get cruise control retrofitted you need to be aware of the fact that BMW has 3 types of cruise controls systems :

1. Standard Cruise Control : (540)
2. Cruise Control with braking function : (544)
3. Adaptive Cruise Control : (541)

Cruise control with braking function was the only type of cruise control option available on the X1-E84 *from factory*. However, I have been told that both 540 and 544 can be retrofitted.


If you want cruise control with braking (544) you might have change your instrument cluster too. There are two configurations of instrument cluster that was fitted on the X1-E84. I have read various reports where 544 works both, only with and also without, the upgraded instrument cluster (also referred to as KOMBI).

I believe 540 can be coded on-to the standard cluster, but you only get a slash screen on the KOMBI to indicate cruise control has been activated. On the upgraded KOMBI you get a dot on the speed dial to indicate the cruising speed.

Read post #14 and #15 above for more details.

Cheers!
