That mount is only for non iDrive equipped cars. There will be a mount for the cars with iDrive which fits in the armrest. This is also where the WiFi Hotspot will go. I did see pictures of the mount for an E70 and E71 but I could not get a copy!! I did however find this.........bottom right on page.

Original BMW Accessories : Networked mobility

My own dealer in the UK states March 2011 onwards for the release. He also thinks that some of the functionality will be limited for vehicles not OEM equipped with the new Combox Controller (Option Code 6VC), but as we have yet to see a UK Spec 'X' of any sort he did not know for certain. Assuming production started as expected in Week 40 for this option, then US dealers & Owners will know before us due to the length of time it takes to ship to the UK/Europe.
