OT question for my530i: That little compartment above the DTC/DSC button ... I've only ever seen it in an E61 and it is something that would be really helpful for me. Right now I'm using the iDrive screen alcove as a compartment, which probably isn't ideal... did it simply come with your car?

Good luck! I just received mine Saturday after waiting since March 18th order. This is my 4th BMW and it was the worst case of impatience yet. But the car was worth waiting for much much longer!! Just read this forum every day like I did and try to enjoy the anticipation... Congratulations-

That compartment comes with non-nav cars.
