130i not displaying cruise controlled speed

hey all,
2006/7 130i m-sport auto
when i start cruise control, there's nothing on the dash that displays cruise control being on, or what speed it's being held at..
is that right?
my dad's E90 325i displays the number and has a small silver line that darts up around the outside of the speedometer to show where cruise is being held

something wrong with mine or just not in the earlier 1 series?

Hi Mate,

It should be under the odometer... when you set the cruise control stalk lever thingie the whole odometer display will temporaily turn into a speedo (say if you set it at 80 it will display 80 with a circle around it) and then quickly turn back into the original odometer display again.

If you want we can meet up at a servo and i can show you if your stuck.

I've had my 2006 130 since new and use cruise all the time and never come across a speed display other than the speed, for cruise anything else.

I think you are barking up the wrong tree, but if someone else knows something it would be great to know.

blacky - so you actually get the speed displayed in a circle on the screen?
i might just look in the damn manual and see what it says.. might not be a feature of the 2006 build 130i..

Sorry been away for a few days.

I have never had any speed indication on the central display, cruise control on or off.

As I say I may have been missing something for the last 4 years but I think it is only since the coupe was released that the updated dash features evolved.

Let me know if you find anything.

ok so i'm still totally confused blacky - do you get ANYTHING display on your dash when you activate cruise control?

because i get nothing.. no light, no dash saying 80, no silver bit outside the speedo like the 3-series..

yeah i think there's some differences moving from 2006 up to 2009
bit silly/dangerous really you think there'd at least be a light telling you cruise control is on... even my 15 year old lexus had that

Nothing to indicate that the cruise is activated, and if I recall this was one of the complaint when reviewing the 130 in the early years.
