cruise control actuator - where abouts does it fit?

[A1BMW325iSport]

can anyone post a photo up of where the actuator fits please, i`m sure it mounts near the airbox somewhere but i can figure out where.

Thanks Matt

The actuator bracket bolts to the airbox mounting, I'll post a pic up in 30mins (camera batt dead)

Ha ha beat you to it!!! Save you a job CharlE30
The guys who supply the cruise control kits rarely supply the bracket too, I made one out of ali sheet. I must look the proper bracket up on the ETK some time. Any other questions about the cruise fire away

Nice one widge, won't have to go out in the rain now

Mine came with a bracket

[A1BMW325iSport]

Ok thanks, does it mount the same on early 325i ?

Part number for the bracket is... 41 14 1 902 591

i`ll order that monday, along with the longer screw
for the stalk switch.

Dunno about the early 325i's.
No worries CharlE30, I just popped out inbetween the hail storms
Let me know how much they charge for the bracket, oh and I just used one of the screws that holds the lower column shroud on for the stalk. Then just get a column screw next time your at the scrappy

[A1BMW325iSport]

oh cool i`ll pinch the column screw off the 325 i`m scrapping

[Widge]

That reminds me actually.... I never did get another screw




Oh well the shroud is still there so

[A1BMW325iSport]

drop me a PM with your address and i`ll pop one in the post

is there supposed to be holes in the airbox then to mount this bracket?

also what route does the cable go?

[Widge]

The bracket attaches to the wing side of the air box bracket by one of the air box bolts and onther stud that should be sticking out of the air box bracket. Mine only had a sort of roll pin sticking out but it worked ok to locate my home made bracket.

I put my cable round the back of the header tank then down below the servo in through the bulkhead to the glove box. The actal actuating cable can go any where you like as long as it dosen't ket kinke dor trapped etc...

top info mate, i owe u one

The proper bracket only costs a couple of Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£'s from the dealer.

For info, on the M3 it actually mounts to the inside of the wing itself, the mouting points are there ready too.
