Guys, check my post #17.
This is not speculation, it's from one of the guys who worked in the team that developed the flaps.

It is not on any US spec E60. BMW simply saved the money, since US spec cars are not driven as fast as cars over here. Therefore they don't get as warm as ou cars over here.

And I dunno about my fellow US owners, but I don't exactly hang about when the wife isn't in the other driver's seat.
