[/quote]It is a sensor used by the A/C system. One of the functions is to sense which direction the sun is shining from and adjust the A/C zones (driver vs. passenger side) accordingly.

[/quote]Yep. That's what it is. This sensor measures the intensity of the sun. It comes with advanced A/C on 5 and 6 series.

Is that modified center armrest, with the iDrive knob moved to the right, coming on all 5-ers? If it means more usable storage space in the center, it sounds good to me -- as long as the passenger's arm doesn't hit the iDrive all the time.
