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.
I came across this on BMW's International (German language) site:
It clearly shows the new iDrive controller knob and new navigation screens. Also note the absence of the second (DVD) drive.
I know it's not a BMW NA catalog, but I think this is pretty convincing evidence that BMW has implemented the new controller and software into the E60's.

hey guys, i noticed that for the 2009, they eliminated the front side reflectors along the wheel arch... 
they only have the reflectors for US models.
also, they added a x-drive badge? luckily I ordered mine earlier.
I wonder if the dealers would upgrade the software/firmware on the idrive to the newer one

My Ride: 2004 545i TITANIUM GREY II on Black Dakota Lthr, Comfort Seats, Sports PKG, Premium PKG, Active/Dynamic Drive, NAV, Winter Package.
I noticed on one of the pages the map is full screen not split, that's a nice feature to have. Too bad we don't have it on our E60's. I wonder if they will have any new updates for our cars once the 2009 released?

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
Looks like they "loosened up" the leather on the seats a little.
