How do I save the current speed using Cruise Control in my vehicle with BMW Operating System 8 and newer?

For vehicles equipped with BMW Operating System 7 and newer, with the Cruise Control, the buttons on the left of the steering wheel can be used to adjust your set speed. The system maintains the set speed. The system accelerates and brakes automatically as needed.

 

Perform the following to set and save the current speed using cruise control:

 

  1. Press the rocker switch up or down repeatedly until the desired speed is set.
    If active, the displayed speed is stored and the vehicle reaches the stored speed when the road is clear. 
    The stored speed is displayed on the speedometer.
  2. Press the "Set" button to store the speed
        

Each time the rocker switch is tapped to the resistance point, the set speed increases or decreases by 1 mph/1 km/h.
Each time the rocker switch is pressed past the resistance point, the desired speed changes by a maximum of 5 mph/10 km/h.
The maximum speed that can be set depends on the vehicle.
Pressing the rocker switch to the resistance point and holding it: vehicle accelerates or decelerates without pressure on the accelerator pedal.
After the rocker switch is released, the vehicle maintains its final speed. Pressing the switch beyond the resistance point causes the vehicle to accelerate more rapidly.
