My Ride: [color="#0000FF"]On order:[/color] 2009 535i Space gray metallic/cream beige and bamboo anthracite. Sport Package, CWP, LDW, CA, PDC, Rear seat heaters and side airbags, iPod/L7 and Nav.
The new E60 catalog for North America is finally available on www.bmwusa.com!
As far as iDrive and NAV are concerned:
1) It looks like DVD Nav only -- and no mention of estimated time-frames for an HD system, as appeared on the bmw.de web materials. (i.e. "estimated November 2008)
2) Looks like old iDrive images
3) The new iDrive controller is pictured several times in general shots, but no specific mention or highlight as to the fact that it's new, or that it's subject to any particular time-frame.
Anyone notice anything else? Please post if so.

My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
I see the new iDrive knob and buttons is there, but the same old GUI.

A few observations:
1. It looks like they recycled more than a few images from the 08 catalog.
2. They reached into the E39 spare parts bin to find the huge red lamp underneath the rear view mirror.
3. The Style 277 wheels are nice. Too bad it's in 17".
4. Same exterior colors.
5. Same interior trim.
6. Same seat colors.

More commonly referred to as "the clown nose."
