Cruise control failure

I have an E46 with cruise control that's not working. I have the little light on the dash but it will not cock the speed. Any ideas?

Well would suggest that you check the fuse (think its No 9 speed control)
If ok the check your MAF (mass air flow) sensor, it may be disconnected/faulty and if so can cause the CC to stop working.
