Error message in cruise control of a BMW 3 Series Diesel, year of manufacture 2007: Experience and advice wanted

Hey guys, I have a problem with my BMW 3 series diesel, built in 2007, with over 200k kilometers on the clock. My cruise control no longer works and there is an error stored. Had a bad experience with my mechanic before and suspect it might have something to do with the cruise control. Has anyone had similar problems and could tell me about their experience with the problem and their garage? I'm really a bit worried. Thanks in advance!

Summary of the thread

A BMW 3 Series Diesel from 2007 with over 200,000 kilometers is experiencing a cruise control malfunction, accompanied by an error message. The issue is suspected to be related to the electronics of the cruise control system. A similar case with a BMW 5 Series Diesel involved an electronic fault in the cruise control and automatic gearshift, which was resolved by a mechanic. The suggested solution is to have the vehicle checked by a professional, as it is likely an electronic issue that can be fixed.

Hi, I drive a 2010 BMW 5 Series diesel and you can compare my case with yours. My automatic gearbox stopped working and I had a fault in the system, quite similar to yours. I also went to the garage. They found a fault in the electronics of the cruise control and the automatic gearshift that caused the malfunction. It was a serious fault but nothing they couldn't fix. I picked up the car a week later and it has been running perfectly ever since. Don't worry too much. It's probably just an electronic problem that needs to be fixed.

Hey, thanks for your feedback! It's reassuring to know that it's probably just an electronic problem. Can you remember how much the repair cost you? And has anything else similar occurred since?

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! Yes, I remember that pretty well, the cost of the repair was around €200. That was the amount to fix the cruise control switch. To be honest, I was also surprised that there have been no further problems with the cruise control since the visit to the workshop. Really cool, it's now running like clockwork again. Hope this helps you a bit, don't worry too much!

Hey, thanks for all the information! That's really helpful. Of course, 200€ is no small amount, but if it works perfectly again afterwards, it's worth it. It's reassuring to hear that you haven't had any further problems since then. So, off to the garage with the BMW! Thanks again and I wish you continued trouble-free driving!
