Maybe the fact that nothing major has happened to my E60 in the last 7 months that there hasn't been the requirement to post looking for information. Or pity. All minor stuff that seems to correct itself. I read through the other posts though because I picked up one or two things I didn't know about.

Just plug in your year, model, etc. Sorry, but I do not think it covers European (diesel) models.

Is this a joke...?

In Europe, AFAIK, your dealer only has that - at least that was what my service manager told me.

For better or worse, in the US, the government keeps track of these things. Here is another link:
