Yes it's the same in my current Accord

[beamer-dreamer]

i think unless you order adaptive cruise control.. you get old fashioned cruise control as talked about in the above video...

they call it dynamic, because it can use brakes to maintain speed, and will slow down if it sense turning...

oh well i guess my 60K car won't have a basic function now

I cut this from the press release they did in July when announcing the car:

״ The standard-fitted Cruise Control with brake function helps make driving over longer distances more relaxing. It maintains the desired speed set by the driver (in a range between 30 km/h [19 mph] and the top speed of the model at hand), while automatically adjusting to a comfortable speed in bends.
And the optional Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function offers even more extensive assistance by using sensor data from cameras and radar to not only maintain the preferred speed but also automatically keep a safe distance from vehicles travelling ahead – with a choice of four proximity settings. This system works when driving at speeds of 30 – 160 km/h (19 – 99 mph) and is capable of braking
the vehicle to a standstill, if necessary, and even setting off again automatically after short pauses lasting up to 30 seconds.
The standard and optional cruise control systems both include a manual Speed Limit Assist function, which allows the driver to import the speed limit registered by the Speed Limit Info system as the new set speed at the push of a button.

welli guess that's a definitive answer.. i'll have to see if my dealer will modify my order. I really wish BMW included this option in their builder

[yanks1]

The optional active cruise was clearly available for $750.. I did NOT check the box, the std. adaptable cruise is all I need

[02M3ForMe]

Regular (Dynamic) Cruise Control is standard cruise; you set the speed and it’s fixed. No special sensors are installed. The car does not react to traffic in any way.

The Adaptive Cruise Control option adjusts the speed to maintain a specified distance from the car in front of you, all the way down to stop and go. A radar-based sensor is installed in the lower front bumper grille to enable this functionality.

No sensor, no reaction to nearby cars in any capacity.

BMW has been changing the availability and visibility of options to match parts supply and to manage customer expectations. This forum remains the best place to stay on top of what’s available. If your car has reached Production Begins 150 status, no changes can be made, though it may be worth it to push your dealership and see what can be done. I have yet to hear about a build in status 150 receiving changes, though there’s usually a 2-week gap between the day it hits 150 and the day the actual assembly/production starts.

I don't believe this is the case. On 240's that have the active cruise option, you can see the buttons on the steering wheel to the left and right of the left scrollwheel. They are distance (closer and further) buttons to adjust following distance to the vehicle ahead. 240's without the option have no buttons there.

Without the active cruise control option, I don't believe there is any braking for cars ahead except for emergency braking. I've seen dynamic and adaptive cruise control also used for cruise control that keeps the car moving the same speed when going down hills.. which is hardly a noteworthy feature.

Yeah.. i was basing off another commenter.. the 'mystery' has since been solved...i just have to see if i care enough to deal with talking to the dearlership...and whether i'll have to sign another P&S for them to add this feature

[yanks1]

I dug further into the G42 literature.. The Std dynamic cruise control does not adjust for traffic but will maintain speed and brake on downhills.. Big deal, any basic cruise system does that.

I can't believe BMW charges $750 for the optional Active Cruise Control which does adjust for traffic. Same as my wife's $30k Kia Sportage that was included in one of the basic packages.. Shame on you BMW & thanks to posters above for bringing this to my attention

[ZacMatic]

This is standard luxury/premium car shenanigans. Mercedes charges you $1700 for a package of driver assistance features that includes adaptive cruise control.

Looking at an Audi S3, it has three trim levels and you need Premium Plus to get adaptive cruise. It costs $2800 over the base trim.

Meanwhile, many midrange cars have this feature included at base level or available as part of a higher trim. To be fair, how adaptive cruise is implemented depends on software and everyone does it slightly differently. BMW, MB, Volvo, etc generally do it better/smoother than others.

Folks, I have ordered a G42, 2022, (M240i) US spec, and Crazy happy with the one I test drove. 156 MPH I achieved on the autobahn , but the ACC was not on the one I tested. I am trying to get my dealer to get this put on but BMW has not answered as of now.

Any help getting gester control, ACC, wireless charging??? I attached a photo for my build. May is the delivery month… Law

[COSturmWolke]

Just to respond in case this wasn’t answered. DCC is regular cruise control that slows down when the car is going around a curve. ACC adjusts speed/distance with radar.

I first spoke with BMW Genius to add ACC, they told me I needed to have my Dealer do this. Spoke to my dealer and they said the option isnt available for the 2022 M240i. Any ideas?

[beamer-dreamer]

sadly... your choices are live without ACC, or live without a 2022 M240i

it seems only the first few months worth of cars will have that option available. the 2023 may have ACC, but it also has Idrive8 so that's an important factor

There is nothing to do about this other than buying a car that was manufactured before they removed that option. You can look at the following link, and if you find a car of your liking, call the dealership and see if it's for sale.. they all have ACC (that's how I got mine)

I appreciate your input. There is nothing within 1 or 2 states from me. Not sure I want to drive that far for my trade in. And I really doubt my BMW will transfer the cars.

I must be out of the loop...what's wrong with iDrive 8?

You can have a third party deliver it to you. Really matter of how important it is for you 😀

Everything in the car is operated through the touch screen including AC. Very few physical buttons.

Well, I have a trade in as well. Not worth all the headache. Lol

[solstice]

We got it on our custom ordered car delivered in early February. Haven’t tried it yet though…
