Adaptive cruise is a strange one, I have mates who rave about it! An acquired taste I guess, I have had it fitted on two different motors and it never really grew on me enough to justify the added cost.
I found I became tired of the car hitting the brakes to maintain it's set distance when some jerk pulled in, across my bonnet in front of me as I was happily cruising along at my set speed even though they were pulling away from me. Great in the road works during the ever increasing 50mpg stretches though.
I had two versions of it one in the E55 which would slow down to a point but the second more advanced one in the XK which would effectively bring the car to a stop.
I am probably a control freak though so these things don't appeal
I do fancy the HUD though as I nearly bought the A7 with that fitted, and a mate has it on his 6 series which is nice.
Actually if you going for the SE have a look at the Matrix LED headlights on the sport as they are stunning, mine has the earlier version fitted but the light output/difference is amazing.
I can see the price creeping up now you have posted this Steve
