I noticed when looking at the online versions of the M5 owners manual that EU M5 (and maybe all e60s?) have a system called BMW Online as an option within iDrive which allows the user to receive emails and access certain websites. Are there any plans to have this as an iDrive upgrade in the U.S.? I have read that the UK owners have to pay a subscription fee of 100 pounds/yr for this.

That means, it is NOT a full internet access, only to WAP sites that the BMW online server provides!
This is a VERY limited service!
