Hi All,

Reading a number of forums it seems there are difference's in the Model year 06 cars depending on their build dates. Apr 05 would have the more HP engine but no start/stop button. The Sept 05 would have the start/stop button and more HP. So what else does a Sept 05 build get that an Apr05 didn't?

Thanks

The new N52 3.0 litre is alraedy in the April 2005 built 530i.

My car was built in the end of August so I have the new engine but not the start/stop button etc... On the new engine you can check the oil level in the idrive. No dipstick!
