Here's the dealer bulletin confirming that all US E60 models, except M5, will change to MY07 with March production to comply with CARB emissions requirements. New options also included.

Aux input is standard, but I can't believe they placed it between the 2 power sockets at the rear of the center console.

I doubt the price would increase by the full amount of the comfort seats... the outgoing sport seats were a sort of half-step between the regular seats and the comfort seats, and adding the full $1200 to the price of the Sport package would make it $3500, which is probably more than most buyers are willing to drop on a single option.

I am also interested to know the pricing of the night vision option. I have to assume it will be fairly pricey, given how much the bleeding-edge technology options are going for (e.g., active cruise control). Does anyone know if it includes high-beam assist? Or is this feature already standard in the 2006 model year?

Will HD Radio be available as a retrofit for MY 2006 cars?
