My Ride: On Order as of May 6- 2007 530i Titanium Grey and Grey Leather, with Sport Package, Premium Pkg, Cold Pkg.
2006 Porsche Boxster
I understand that the 2006 5-series is sold out or done with the production run. Thus I had to order mine as a 2007.
The dealer could never articulate any real differences other than a higher price.
What is new and improved if anything?

My Ride: 2008 Sapphire Black on Black M5 - loaded sans soft close doors
I would tell you to search the site, but a quick search was not able to turn up what I thought would readily be available. So I will go by memory
Aux input standard
Comfort Seats now part of sport package
Sport steering wheel from SMG equipped cars standard with Sports Package
HD Radio option
Night Vision Option
and one more thing that I can not remember!

BMW is a European (German) manufacturer and the MY's change in September each year.
In US the new MY (do the some local thinking) starts in March.
We are all looking foreward to the new 535i twin-turbo engine (maybe the EU MY '07)
and to the real facelift in Sept. 2007 (?), that would be the MY '08 car here in EU.
