My Ride: E61 525i SE Touring Automatic - Titanium Grey II, Auburn-Dakota Leather, 17" Light Alloy Wheels Star-Spoke Styling 138, Anthracite Headlining, Maple Wood, Electric Front Seats, Front Seat Heating, Automatic Air Conditioning Advanced, Navigation System Professional, Bluetooth phone prep, Professional radio, Hi-Fi Loudspeaker system, Park Distance Control, Rear Side Airbags, Side Blinds
Got my car back this evening - the issue with the complete failure of the screen / i-drive apears to have been a software glitch as Texaz3 guessed 
.
New CIP was intalled which took the whole day.
According to the dealer they haven't seen this kind of 'total' failure before ... yeah, right
They also noticed that the rear shock absorbers need to be replaced following the latest recall - but unfortunately didn't have the parts to do it on the day - so it has to go back again in a few days :'(
Had a 320d M as courtesy car for the day - surprisingly good engine - but boy - I'm so happy I have an E61

Can you tell me more information about the recall? I just picked up my car on 6/30/2006 and I am wondering if my car is affected.
Thanks.

The recall affects all 5, 6 and 7 series cars build between Jan 9 and April 18 this year.
So you should be fine.

If he collected his car on 30/6/06 then it may have actually been built between the affected dates, no?
My car was in production on May 5th. and took delivery on June 30th.
