They are probably bringing it back as a step between the 530 and 550 from cost and performance.
When I was having a vibration issue with my 545i, the dealer was supposed to check my crank to see if it was for a 4.4l or 3.9l

[/quote]So is the new start\stop button standard on all E60s in September? I realize Comfort Access is an option, but is the start\stop button standard like on the E90?
