Its gets a start/stop button like the new 3 series, gets a leather top idrive knob and maps if you have business nav.

To me, the start/stop button looks like you can retofit it because they have just simply blocked off the key slot. Also i hope you can update the current buisness nav so it will show maps.

p.s. do the 06 cars go in production in september?

The changes are only from September 2005 production

The USA is the only place that calls current cars 2006 models
