I don't get the bitching over the new cruise system. The buttons are *easily* large enough to operate by feel. I never look down at the steering wheel to engage the cruise control, and I use the thing all the time to maximize fuel economy in our X3. I have a 135i as well, so I regularly switch between the systems.
The only thing that annoys me about the X3 is that you have to turn the cruise "on". IMO, they could turn the on/off button in to a cancel button and have the system always available, but I think the concern is that you'll bump the rocker switch and accidentally engage the cruise control.
