Hopefully everyone can confirm. I just don't see BMW releasing this in the e60-62 (yet) simply because of the fact that it just may kill the residuals and values of the current stock not to mention the fact that there was already a refresh and its not the last year of production to encourage people to buy this platform still. @Horatiu B.: Believe me it even has a DVD drive in the picture – should say something.

What is the big deal for us Americans? We are even lazy up to the point for not using a little more fingers exercise. By the way, the touch shift gears Steptronic Aut. Trns., would be the best feature in the 5ers if the P button be located on the bottom instead of on the top.
