I really like the engine design. My dealer told me that I was the first one without a dipstick, you check the oillevel in the Idrive.

I just dont understand how Nbarco has it then (unless he ordered the Comfort Pkg).? His car was apparently built on Sept. 5th.

.
I have a 530i Sport coming and was told that the stop/start button model production starts on week 38. I had heard that there were a few other changes and decided to wait. My dealer called up BMW to confirm production start date and then booked me a slot.?
The other thing that as winding me up was the new N52 engine. Per my dealer it went into production months ago and that all cars had it now regardless of whether they were 05 or 06. Another dealer (I was playing one against the other trying to reduce the price) kept on saying that the N52 engine doesnt kick in till 06 production - very confusing but trusted my local dealer in the end (still have it all in writing though before I signed? ).

[/quote]Could it be week 38 for me as I am right hand drive (UK spec) ?
Does anyone know what exactly changed for the 06 year - all I know of is the Start button and a leather insert in the idrive knob.

Thank you IHC! 
SKK: The DSC will be upgraded called the DSC+. It's including softstop, starting in hill etc. It's the same one as in the 530xi.
