I too missed it the moment I took my ride early last year and enquired with the dealer then. They went through the entire TIS and could only tell me that its available in US and Japan E60s.
It became a retrofittable item about 3-4 months ago here, one would have to cough up more than a hundred bucks (US) to get it done - I was told it had, besides the switch, 3 differing wire harness to go into the various control units.

I want the electric folding mirrors too! Here in the US we don't get that. Must have been traded for the trunk release switch!

I can confirm: very nice feature folding mirror

Anyone who has retrofitted the trunk opening button in Europe?
Also what happens if I press the button for trunk opening on the remote while the key is in the ignition or even if the car is running?
I'm a bit afraid pressing any buttons on the rmote while in the ignition since on some cars this is a wau how to program some features of the door locks etc....

Here is the link to a German forum with the most imporant changes from September:
http://www.auto-treff.com/bmw/vb/showthrea...25&pagenumber=5
Translation of other main modifications:
- X-drive available for 530xd
- DSC+ additional functions which were expected to be introduced in March 05
- Start/Stop Button with optional Comfort Access
-I-drive knob partially covered with leather simillar to 7-series
- Cooler painted in black
- Slightly changed seat cloth without colored inclusions
- Highbeamlights automatically changing to low when approaching another car moving in the opposite direction/crossing or when it becomes sufficiently bright
- Touring sport suspension becomes analogue to that of Limousine
