My Ride: 2004 545i titanium grey 6 speed manual with light grey interior. Nav, L7, cold weather, sport, sat. Modifications: suede headliner, pianno black interior trim, Ipod dock, Mtech front bumper, Angel Eyes, and flat black kidney grills.
It is kind of fun to be the first person to do a certain mod to a car. I wanted to know if anyone else out there beat me to it? This is a 2010 550i with the new HD iDrive system. It has the BMW factory backup camera and an aftermarket video interface installed. ( By the way the current version of the ACM will not work on the new HD cars. )

Ya that's one of the minor changes between the 09 and 10. The HD iDrive, the screen is slightly larger (they claim), and the Navi software has been upgraded once again to be more user friendly.

The new HD iDrive unit has lots of new features that we do not have in our cars. It has a HD radio tuner and a hard drive navigation unit. I should have taken a photo of the USB port on the side of the glovebox, I think that is where you plug in to update the hard drive for the navigation. I am also pretty sure that it has navigation traffic info, usually called nav traffic. As for the screen size it was an Alpine, and did not seem bigger than the 8.8" that we have.
