Retrofitting cruise control to a BMW 3 Series
The 3 Series has long been the company car for people who enjoy driving. Most of its miles are not on a mountain pass, though, they are on the M1, and a car without cruise makes them feel longer.
A driver's car doing a sales job
Saloon or Touring, a 3 Series in daily business use can cover huge distances between appointments. The steering and balance are what sold the car, and neither helps once you have held seventy on a straight motorway for two hours. Drivers miss the feature most on the way home.
Second owners find the gap
Many 3 Series reach their second or third keeper as ex-fleet cars, and the specification varies a lot between them. Buyers who assumed cruise was standard sometimes find it simply is not there. Then comes the question of whether a BMW can gain it without anything being opened up.
Speed hold from the BMW's own data
Our module takes the 3 Series speed signal from the BMW's network and does what the driver asks with it, setting, holding or dropping a pace while the throttle gains nothing mechanical. Chorley writes it for your BMW before dispatch. Mention manual or automatic, and whether the car burns petrol or diesel or is a hybrid.

Questions about the BMW 3 Series
- Does xDrive change anything?
- Include it in your enquiry, since four-wheel drive is among the details we check on a 3 Series.
- My fleet runs 3 Series alongside other makes. Is that a problem?
- No. Every module carries software for a single vehicle, so a mixed fleet just means a list of cars rather than one.
- What happens when a leased 3 Series goes back?
- Reprogramming the BMW module for the replacement car is free, so nothing sits on a shelf.
