I just joined this website. Obviously I am aware that is based upon BMW 5-series. I am puzzled as to the references to E60/E61. Is this software versions that the different year cars run off of? or something else? Let me know what version applies to my 2006 525xi. thx.

The E60 stands for the body style. All 5 series sedan bodystyles are the same. They are classified as E60.

Similarly All 5 Series Touring/Sports Wagon bodystyle are the same. They are classified E61.

THe new 3 Series bodystyle for example is E90.

Hope this helps.

Just in case you where wondering what BMW stands for, it's Bayerishce Motoren Werke. In English, it's Bavarian Motor Works. IN TEXAS, it stands for:

Bubba's (or Billy-Bob) Motor Wagon

What does BMW stand for in your region?
