Anyone know when BMW is going to put this in the 5 series? I read quite awhile ago they were working on a new type battery with some kind of different grids so they could use this system. I hope its out before the MY 2009 when I intend to change cars.

From the BMW USA press release.
Power units: opening up a new dimension of Efficient Dynamics.
Depending on the specific engine involved, the various models in the new BMW 5 Series come with a range of technologies and features serving to minimize fuel consumption and emissions. For example, one such technology is Brake Energy Regeneration, which concentrates the generation of electricity for the on-board network on the car?s overrun and brake phases.
Operating on-demand, the electrical coolant pump in the new BMW 5 Series 6-cylinder engines consumes significantly less power than a conventional pump and helps the engine reach its normal operating temperature earlier. The Varioserv steering assistance pump, varying the curve ring as a function of pressure and volume flow, avoids the usual increase in drive losses as a function of higher engine speeds. And when the driver and passengers do not require the air conditioning, the a/c compressor is disconnected to reduce drag forces to a minimum.

I haven't seen any thing in there pricing sheets with the options and base price just like 323 soft close automatic doors isn't listed either. Is this going to be Std. or a option? Any information when the Stop and Start System will be avalible?
b) If by "Stop and Start System" you are referring to Active Cruise Control with Stop/Go, then like some of the other features you may have read about, it is available now with new orders.
c) Soft close doors in some territories are now included in one of the "packs" (in UK, for example, in the Luxury Pack).

a) Regenerative Braking is integrated across several ranges of BMW including the new 5 Series. Not an option.
