Someone's got it. The new ones are shiny as opposed to the dull grey color.

The 04's have a matte silver finish. The 06's have the shiny aluminum finish. Looks ugly if you ask me. Too bling bling.

read the whole post one more time to answer your question.
There are two types of AC that E60 can be equipped. That standart one with black knobs and the exetdned one you have specify while ordering the car and it has the silver knobs. The extended varies in function. It has mor functions like separate temeperature for each side of the car, automatic de-fog sensor and function.... and some more which I don't remember now

The knobs for the MY05 in chrome have better feeling and less "move" than the pre MY05 ones. So it's not only look that differs, also feeling. But as said, it only comes with the compleate control unit.
