Oh and for the car nerds: I noticed something way cool about the BMW yesterday- the cruise control accelerates slightly, just a touch, when you're going round a corner, regardless of whether it thinks you're already going too fast or not. And it accelerates more the harder you turn.

This is totally awesome. A cruise control that knows it's piloting a RWD sports car. Color me lustful*.

*If you know me then you'll know how rare it is for me to be impressed by anything automated. Therefore for me to be wowed by a cruise control must say something about how insanely good this cruise control is. Honest.

Adaptive Cruise?

Not the full-on radar-tracking cruise, no, but still pretty damn smart for a dumb cruise control.
