However, this morning I did use the cruise control and noticed for the first time that when hitting the brake and disengaging the cruise control the cruise speed changes from green to orange. That is showing what the resume speed will be if you choose resume. I guess there has been some updates.

I have HUD on my 2010 35d (Feb delivery) and it shows the cruise control speed for a few seconds after it's engaged. Then it just shows a green cruise control icon. I've often wished it would continue displaying the set speed. If this is the case, I'm going to like this update.

The current version of the HUD shows the set speed if it's different from the vehicle speed. Once the vehicle synchronizes with the set speed, only the actual speed is displayed, but since this IS the set speed, I don't see the problem...

That looks different from mine. My cruise speed/icon is either green or off. It also looks smaller in your version.

Yea, mine behaved like that before a software update was done on the car.

Ah, I didn't realize it showed when the set speed if it was different from the vehicle speed. I just thought it showed for a few seconds and then switched to the speedo icon.

Thanks for the info...

I should clarify that I was speaking about when the cruise is engaged, typically after hitting "resume" for example. In this situation, the cruise info is green and the set speed disappears once the vehicle adjusts.

When the cruise disengaged (hitting the brake, for example), the set speed is always shown and the info is orange.

Yea, it always did that. What changed is when you dis-engage cruise, cruise speed set value remains on the HUD in orange. In the past it wasn't displayed at all.
