The 2010 model year will start early for the 5er in the U.S., probably with March production. MY2010 5ers will get the CIC-based iDrive.
So ... all the cool new iDrive stuff for the E60 - except the new wide-screen monitor?

And do we read anything into the March launch of the E60 model year 2010 ... as in the F10 could be here one year after that?

My HD iDrive system reports a total space of 12.500 MB available for music (at least in Europe/Netherlands).

I also have Euro version of BMW E60 ( 520d ) with CIC. How can I check how much space I have on the HDD?

I've heard at a BMW ad that as of September 08, CIC is paired with the new Hi-Resolution 8.8" monitor. (I think 1024x480 pix)

Hi, also a 520d here (E61).
You can check available space by pressing the OPTION button on the console when you're in the CD/Multimedia menu. It shows a list of items where pressing "Memory available" reports you used and available space on the HD.

Thanks! It worked
And even though that I have downloaded one CD, system states that its 100% free.

I got this message from my Salesman today:


I was able to confirm that the MY2010 5 series will start production in March. It will have the new navigation system.
... you were right!


I would imagine this would confirm the above.
