Guys,
Sorry to ask this dumb question; but just heard from the dealer and my order has a start production date of 9/05/2005. How do I find out what I-"Features"/body changes/whether I have a real MY06 or not/etc??

-thanks in advance!

Any production in September is the real change-over. The factory in Germany is closed now getting ready for the change over. My production starts one week later than yours. You're getting all the real '06 features (like start/stop button).

The 5th of September is the first work day after the current plant shutdown, and as said will include all new updates

Count me in too!
According to my dealer I will get a production number on September 1st for my October build. You guys will have a 1-month head start on the fun!

Speaking of the "Features In", I guess the list will include:
** DSC+ (hill holding, brake drying, etc. just like the E90's)
** start/stop button
** chrome grills for us 530i folks
** of course the new 6-cylinder that's been available since March '05.

Did I miss anything?

Yep. You'll get the "real" MY06!
