Just curious....
Does the 2005 E55 come with a Radio Data System (RDS) Tuner and if yes, are the station names displayed in the speedometer-display, too? I assume it does but I couldn't find any info in the brochure. Thank you in advance for your feedback

No RDS in the '05's. If you swap for the Euro unit, you get RDS as well as DVD on the NAV screen but lose the phonebook with the integrated phone.

Yeah but you get 516ft/lbs torque to make up for that...

I love it, and everyone else I know does too.. I got the Euro COMAND, one of the reasons why I did.

Did you decide to stay with the E55 designo or did you opt for the 745Li?
