The current platform (E70) was produced as early as FEB 2006. It officially replaced the E53 in November 2006. As far as model years are concerned, you will not find a "2006" E70. All E70s are going to have a model year of 2007 and up.

If you want to study up, I suggest going to your dealership and request a brochure. There also a number of sites that actively review numerous vehicles from different manufacturers. (www.edmunds.com, www.motortrend.com, to name a few).

I guess this is as good a place to ask as any but what's the SI in 3.0si stand for exactly? Not an easy answer to google...

Historically, the "s" has stood for "Sport".

i = (fuel) injected
d = diesel
l = long (wheel base)
x = all-wheel drive (typically used as a suffix for sedan models)
s = sport
