Looks great!! Love the navigation and the bigger iDrive screen.

Just wonder if the E60 is made in China by Brillance Auto (華晨). If so, how's the quality of it?

I'm 99% sure only Dingolfing makes the E60 - however this might not be the case. Anyone know for sure?

I'd love to have my i-drive in Chinese. I believe BMW will steal a lot of Benz's Chinese customers away. Many of my mother's friend do not want anything to do with 745i is because of i-drive's English display. I wonder how much difficult is to offer Chinese amongst choice of languages?

"Range" should be translated to "里程" instead of "裡程". I believe this is another translation descrepency from simplified to traditional characters. It's like a wrongspelling in alphabetical language systems.

Here in Hong Kong, Chinese iDrive has been available since '03 on both the 5 and 7.
