Their grasp of English is very reassuring...
And it?s not breed problem in diagnostic and program.
It?s fully designed as like OEM Part and its meliorated touch feeling by haute SF coating material.
Also, it looks like it is designed for a smaller (Business) iDrive screen, not the standard Professional unit we have all come to love.

Truly good and commentary directed at technological inadequacies described forthwith and gratuitously scattered upon by polysyllabic words of dubious grammatical distinction incidentally.

One of my favorites came from my father's office in Taiwan, which in describing a suction cup for a flash mount wrote "Heavy Duty Sucker"

This might be useful for people wanting to put Navigation onto their Non-Navi E60, instead of mounting a navigation somewhere on the dash / windshield, they can buy a pioneer or alpine one and be able to use the touch screen for that option, also with Windows / PC video capabilities too.
But then again, if you buy this, you would have to buy the navi (1k US dollars) and installing... Eh, you're better off just buying a portable navigation.
Nevermind....

Did you notice that the screen "looks like" that of a business E60, but that the rest of a dashboard looks like a 1 series dashboard ! Does this change come as standard with the touch screen ?

i think its a 3 series with pro navi (big screen) photoshoped to a smaller screen...
1. 800 *s 480 high resolutions 7 inches TFT LCD (LG Philips Original)
(LCD panel can be changed according to manufacturing company development process.)
i think that added resolution maybe usefull.. but as i understand our screens are 5.8 (5.something) inches... this says 7 inches.. perhaps they are measuring diagonally and BMW werent..
