2006 BMW X5 4.8is and 2005 C55 AMG
I just placed an order for a C55 that is going to be built in January. I asked my dealer if it was at all possible to get this option apparently it is call Thermotronic? He emailed Stratos Nicolaides who is a AMG Product Specialist and Product Manager. This was his response.
"Thermotronic is not available for MY05 and MY06 on the C Class. The decision was made from Germany. (Originally MBUSA was working on offering this as a delayed option, this has changed.)"
So, I guess this option will not be in either the 05 or 06 models, but possible the 07 models for the US market.
Maybe mrkbbd got confused and was looking at the inside of a CLK that has this option.

I am not saying this is how it was done, but there are all sorts of grey market importers who bring euro versions to the states. They usually offer a substantial discount as well, especially when a car is super hot here but has been out for a year or more there.
