1998 740il, 100,000 miles.
Yesterday and today now the car's cruise turns off.
I am driving with cruise on and it turns off. The indicator light goes off
too.
I can not turn it back on until I re-start the car.

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?

thanks
rick

sounds to me like you have a vacuum leak somewhere, This was the
problem on my 1999 E39 540i
