FYI, New 3 series 2010(build 09/09up) and Mini are using a new part number. It looks as though the Z,1,5,6,7 will follow. Its a Generation 3.

Generation 3 means in short words :

In the " last Generation 2 " - is working with additional 4 triggers
which are placed in each car fenders and with an electronic control
unit.

The new generation 3 is working without the 4 triggers in the car
fenders ( reduction of componets ).

The 4 triggers were replaced by an electronic control unit which
contains also a receiver unit.

Generation 3 is still able to fulfill an independent auto location
positioning for the wheels fitted on the car.
