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

[/quote]Yes, that's right. MY06 starts September. The USA calls current E60's allready MY06, since there have been engine changes in March, for marketing reasons only.
The real MY switchover is September, no matter what they call it in the USA.

what is the spot by the steering wheel?? somewhere to hold the key?? do you have to put the key in, then hit start??
[snapback]147309[/snapback]
Yes. Insert the key and then push start.
If you have keyless go you don't need to insert the key, but that's an option you have to pay for.

The introduction of maps to bus nav will certainly be a good thing. Hope its a retro fit for you guys with it. 
The start/stop button is a nonsense IMHO. Instead of having a leather controller they should illuminate it! Make more sense.

Not sure if its pro nav. There is no second cd slot in the dash and there is a cubby hole there.

It is nav pro, the original poster on another forum said he was just showing birds eye view
