Has it been confirmed that all M5's coming to the US, with a production date after Sept 5th (week 36) are equipped with Push Button Start?

For non-M5 E60s, the US brochure shows a leather topped iDrive controller (like the new 7er), so it appears that, at least in the US, the aluminum iDrive controller is for the M5 only:

[/quote]Actually this is not entirely correct.
Dingolfing started two week earlier. Any car build after august 8/22 comes with push start/off button (which i believe is week 34).
